Public park playgrounds serve a wide range of users, ages, and abilities. Unlike school playgrounds, park playgrounds must accommodate families, caregivers, and visitors from across the community — often all at the same time.
Our commercial playground designs focus on:
- Inclusive, multi-age play environments
- Durable commercial-grade materials
- Clear sightlines for safety and supervision
- ADA accessibility throughout the park
- Flexible layouts that support future growth
We work closely with parks and recreation staff to ensure each playground aligns with park goals, available space, budget, and long-term maintenance needs.
When you’re considering playground equipment for a park, several factors should be taken into account to ensure the safety, engagement, and development of the people using it.
- ADA Accessible Routes: Consider ADA routes of travel when placing the playground so people with disabilities can navigate the park environment for the parking area to the playground and beyond.
- Line of Sight and Safety: Choose playground equipment that doesn’t hinder supervision so that caregivers have a clear line of sight across the playground.
- Age-Appropriateness: Choose playground equipment for all ages so that children throughout the community have an opportunity to play.
- Accessibility & Inclusivity: Choose equipment that allows children of all ages and abilities to play together.
- Maintenance: Choose equipment (like ours) made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand heavy use. Your maintenance crew will thank you.
If your parks and recreation department is considering a new playground or planning upgrades to an existing park, our team is ready to help.
We’ll guide you through:
- Site evaluation
- Budget planning
- Inclusive design options
- Installation and long-term support
