School Playground Equipment Supplier

Recess on the playground may arguably be the favorite part of a student’s day at school (we know the entire Playground Etc.’s team’s favorite subject was recess!). It wasn’t until after we all grew up that we understood what a crucial part that play has in a developing child’s life. School playground equipment challenges their growing muscles while play builds social skills and improves motor skills, such as hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills.

Since the 1990s, Playgrounds Etc. has been the preferred school playground equipment supplier of school districts all over the state of Texas. Through our decades of experience, we create top-of-the-line playground equipment for schools that not only look amazing, but are age-appropriate, and meet or exceed every safety standard there is. The best part, children get to play, and they improve their health and development at the same time!

Planning School Playground Equipment

No successful project was ever created without a playground plan. When you work with the design consultants at Playgrounds Etc., you will work side-by-side with the best in the playground industry who will walk you through every step of the way to your new school playground equipment.

Your design consultant will listen to your school’s needs because we know that every project’s needs are unique. While planning your project, you can expect our team to:

• Assess your installation site to help you design and use your school playground project in the most efficient manner.
• Advise how your site’s landscape and structure design will be safety-compliant.
• Discuss your playground budget and playground financing options. There are many options when it comes to finding the monetary resources you need for the playground equipment that your school requires.
• Explain the playground design and installation phase of your new school playground equipment – the most fun part of the planning process!

Meet the Needs of All Students with Inclusive Playgrounds

Because ALL kids want and need to play, Playgrounds Etc. offers many inclusive playground options to schools across the state of Texas. All of our inclusive playground options create a fun playground experience that all students can enjoy – together.

Inclusive playground equipment helps students build confidence through the use of sensory activities that apply to a child’s sense of touch, sight, sound, and more. Overall, inclusive play gives children that have sensory disorders the gift of a rich playground experience.

School Playground Equipment Safety

The safety of the students that play on any playground is our top priority. Playgrounds Etc. is proudly always in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Guidelines, Americans with Disabilities Act, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM).

Throughout the planning process, we will select age-appropriate playground equipment for school-age children to help minimize the risk of playground injury. Keep in mind, that even when every precaution is taken to avoid playground injury, students do tend to get a bruise and a scrape every so often from playing on the playground.

Texas School Playground Projects

The team at Playgrounds Etc. has had the pleasure of working with many schools and school districts in Texas. There is nothing that brings us more joy than helping children succeed in the classroom with the use of school playground equipment. There are multiple studies that show that the two go hand-in-hand for the healthy development of children.
