We at Superior Play Systems have always known the North In Ground Trampoline was more than just another trampoline. Now, the world has recognized it too. The prestigious Red Dot Design Award committee honored the North In-Ground Trampoline with the 2026 Best Product Design Award, confirming its exceptional innovation, craftsmanship, and design.
Why North Trampoline Won The Prestigious Red Dot Award in 2026
The North In-Ground Trampoline won this award for its ability to combine high-end construction with modern style. As opposed to above-ground trampolines that are often large and protrude from a yard, the North award winning trampoline sits flush against ground level to create an orderly finished outdoor space while providing easier access and safer play due to the lower height.
As North's exclusive North American Dealer, we are the ones you can call to bring this Red Dot Awarded Trampoline to your home. With our white-glove installation services, we will help you create the backyard of your dreams!
Four Reasons the Red Dot Judges Said Yes
| Double-Vented Airflow | Adjustable Bounce | Integrated Safety Feature | Flush-to-ground Finish |
| Air moves through both the mat and the padding, not just the mat. The unique system eliminates pad-slap, reduces resistance, and delivers a noticeably higher, more effortless bounce. | The Spring Extender system of North Best awarded inground trampoline lets you bounce by adjusting tension as per your user’s requirements, softer for toddlers, firmer for teens. | A dedicated mesh layer sits between the padding and springs, keeping fingers, toes, and yes, dropped phones out of the pit. | Simple lines. Low profile. No visible posts or raised frames. It's a seamless installation with your yard that enhances the appearance of your entire backyard. |
North vs. Standard In-Ground Trampolines - Comparison
| Feature | North In-Ground Trampoline | Standard In-Ground Trampolines |
| Airflow System | Patented double-vented (mat + padding) | Mat airflow only |
| Bounce Quality | Higher, more responsive, less effort | Reduced by restricted airflow |
| Bounce Adjustability | Spring extender system | Fixed tension, no adjustment |
| Safety Mesh Layer | Integrated pad-to-mat mesh with chunky zippers | No internal safety layer |
| Frame Engineering | Designed ground-up for in-ground use | Often, above-ground frames are repurposed |
| Garden Aesthetics | Flush, design-led, no external poles | Often clunky or visually intrusive |
A Trampoline That Grows with Your Family
Most trampolines last only three to five years before reduced bounce performance, rusting materials, or fixed-tension designs make them less enjoyable and less suitable as children grow. The Red Dot Design Award-winning North In-Ground Trampoline was engineered to break that cycle by delivering lasting performance, premium durability, and an adaptive design built to grow with families over time.
Tested to 1,984 lbs.
North recommends that its user weight limit of 242 lbs, however, their frames were tested with nearly 2000 lbs of stress. This is due to the engineering margin in their frames, not merely for marketing purposes. Your best awarded trampoline will remain at peak performance for years after purchase.
Spring extenders mean the trampoline evolves with your kids
As your child grows, so does their ability to bounce. From a soft bounce at age 3 and a firmer bounce as a teenager, you can use two different bounce styles from one in-ground system. No other product offers the flexibility of these choices.
Built for what's underground
Designed specifically to withstand the use of water and soil, the galvanized frame and springs are built to last for many years without having to replace them. A North in-ground trampoline offers a long-lasting solution for families who want to enjoy outdoor fun for years to come.
