Indoor playgrounds and FECs aren’t just slides and trampolines anymore—they’re immersive, story-driven spaces that blend design, narrative, and emotion. Canadian manufacturer [iPlayCo]() is one of the pioneers of this shift, partnering with world-class IPs to turn play into culture: - **Angry Birds Playland** — a multi-level, fully themed adventure where kids can *live* the game. ![From Angry Birds to Popmart: Dream Garden Leads China’s Rise in IP-Themed Playgrounds]() *(Image 1: iPlayCo Angry Birds–themed installation, multi-level structure)* - **PAW Patrol Hero Academy** — courage, teamwork, and rescue missions translated from screen to real-world play. ![From Angry Birds to Popmart: Dream Garden Leads China’s Rise in IP-Themed Playgrounds]() *(Image 3: iPlayCo PAW Patrol–themed zone with climb, slide, role-play features)* - **“Life Is a Playground”** — a nature-inspired concept that celebrates imagination through oversized florals, soft forms, and light. ![From Angry Birds to Popmart: Dream Garden Leads China’s Rise in IP-Themed Playgrounds]() *(Image 2: iPlayCo nature/fantasy concept with flowers and insects)* **Takeaway:** IP is the new engine of family entertainment—turning hardware into stories. ## Asia’s transformation: from licensees to creators Across Asia, manufacturers are evolving from OEM producers to creative makers. Collaborations around the Korean animation **Larva** show that Asian IPs are ready for the global stage and that Chinese builders can deliver themed environments with strong visual identity and solid execution. ![From Angry Birds to Popmart: Dream Garden Leads China’s Rise in IP-Themed Playgrounds]() *(Image 4: Larva-themed indoor playground by a Chinese manufacturer)* This marks a turning point: it’s no longer only about importing Western characters—**it’s about telling our own stories**. ## Popmart: China’s cultural symbol goes global While Western parks lean on games and cartoon franchises, [Popmart]() represents a new wave of Chinese creativity—transforming collectibles into culture and art into emotion. Characters such as **Labubu, Molly, and Dimoo** pair distinct aesthetics with strong fan communities worldwide. They’re tailor-made for immersive family experiences: - A glowing forest-style **Labubu Adventure Park**. - A chic, family-friendly **Molly Dream Café** blending play, rest, and lifestyle. - A **Popmart × Dream Garden** pop-up that merges art, play, and retail into a single brand moment. ## Dream Garden: turning Chinese IP into global experiences As one of China’s leading playground manufacturers, [Dream Garden (Toymaker in China)]() is redefining what “Made in China” means—**not just manufacturing, but creativity, quality, and cultural value**. - **15+ years** of international projects across **80+ countries** - **SGS / TUV / CE** safety and quality systems (EN1176 / ASTM compliance) - End-to-end delivery: **concept → engineering → production → shipping → on-site installation** Our vision is clear: **Chinese IP × world-class engineering × global experiences**.
