Case Study: Longan Pitaya Sports Park – Guangxi, China  

- A Turnkey Dream Playground Delivered by Cowboy Group

Project Overview

Nestled in Longan County, Nanning, the Longan Pitaya Sports Park spans 4,500 m² of vibrant, purpose-built family entertainment space. Conceived as an immersive, pitaya‑themed adventure world, this park appeals to all ages while celebrating the region’s signature agricultural heritage. Every piece of core play equipment is fabricated from high‑grade sheet metal and galvanised steel – ensuring exceptional moisture and rust resistance in Guangxi’s subtropical outdoor climate.  

For operators, this means low maintenance, high durability, and year-round revenue potential – a critical advantage in humid environments.

Design Philosophy

We transformed Longan’s iconic “pitaya” (dragon fruit) culture into a living, breathing custom playground. Our approach rests on three strategic pillars:

1. Agri - tourism as a Unique Selling Point

   We developed an exclusive park mascot – “Little Red Bao” – and wove local farming stories into every zone. This creates a distinctive, non-copyable identity that differentiates the park from generic competitors, giving operators a clear brand edge in a crowded market.

2. Layered Learning & Age-appropriate Development  

   The park is divided into three story-driven zones, each tailored to a specific developmental stage (ages 3–12),  Safe, durable & inclusive. Through climbing, bouncing, musical play, and sand interactions, children naturally build physical strength, sensory awareness and cooperation - making the park a go-to destination for schools and families seeking meaningful play.

3. Commercial Playground System Synergy

   At 4,500 m², this is not just a playground – it’s a multi-scenario leisure hub. It comfortably accommodates weekend family outings, school study tours, team-building events, and private celebrations. The park activates the local tourism landscape and secures long‑term commercial sustainability.

Zone Breakdown – Custom Playground Design for Flow, Fun & Throughput

Zone 1: The Adventure Tower  

Landmark attraction at the park’s left entrance

The towering “Adventure Tower” serves as the visual anchor – a multi-level play structure featuring layered slides, crawl tunnels, and climbing nets, all mimicking a pitaya fortress. Surrounding it are gentle, toddler-friendly area: fruit-flesh slides, terrain tunnels, leaf-shaped spinners, cross-spin swings, smart pedal karts, and whimsical animal rockers.  

Target age: （3–6s)  Soft surfaces and low heights ensure safe sensory exploration, while playful botanical sculptures reinforce the enchanted pitaya forest theme. For operators, this zone drives repeat visits from young families and encourages extended dwell time.

Zone 2: The Pulp Challenge Camp

Core attraction for older children, positioned centrally

The centrepiece is a giant pitaya‑shaped obstacle complex – twin dragon‑fruit towers connected by high-rope nets, dual-lane slides, and integrated trampoline pods. Supplemented by rotational cups, spinning discs, “spike” balance beams, and interactive ladybug units, this zone forms a full-spectrum sensory‑motor training course.  

Target age: 7–12 – it builds muscular strength, resilience, and teamwork through multi‑stage obstacle races. Operators can monetise this zone via structured challenge events, school‑group packages, and parent-child competitive leagues – maximising per-capita spend.

Zone 3: Bouncing Fruit

High-energy leisure hub at the lower‑right corner

The iconic oversized bouncy cloud, designed with a soft fruit‑pulp texture, is the park’s natural gathering point. It is surrounded by family‑sized trampolines, circular multi‑person swings, and an expansive sand play area. An integrated musical ensemble – including tube chimes, a musical slide, a theatre cottage, and voice‑transmission tubes – turns this space into an outdoor nature music classroom.  

All‑ages appeal – perfect for group relaxation, family photo moments, and spontaneous social interaction. For the operator, this zone increases average visit duration and encourages concession sales (snacks, beverages, souvenirs) through its relaxed, communal atmosphere.
