Community Playgrounds

Our products are reinventing the common playground! Check out the newest innovations to encourage kids to play outdoors. 

Community playgrounds in parks, neighborhoods and urban settings do so much more than entice kids to be active. They encourage the development of important life skills, habits and attitudes. City playgrounds facilitate family time and multi-generational play between parents, grandparents and other caregivers and children. They improve quality of life by bringing people together and creating a sense of belonging.

We understand the importance of your municipal playground project, as it is the heart of the community. And with over 50 years of industry-leading design and engineering, we will help you create city playgrounds that increase engagement within your community today and for years to come.

Our global network of playground consultants is available to help find the right municipal playground design that is safe, challenging and fun for everyone in your community. They’ll learn about your specific needs and priorities, then collaborate with you through every step to make the process as easy as possible.

Park & Recreation Playground Planning

A well-designed playground encourages skill development through interactive play, sensory experiences, challenging activities, imagination and independence. Use our step-by-step guide to help break down the planning process to make it easy and streamlined.

Inclusive Playgrounds Mean Inclusive Communities

Community playgrounds must support the development of healthy kids, regardless of ability. That means going beyond accessibility to creating a fully inclusive playground environment, which takes into account children and families of all abilities.

Partnerships Build Stronger Communities

The best play spaces are built through collaboration. That's why we partner with leading organizations that share our commitment to creating healthier, more connected communities through parks, recreation and outdoor play. Together, we support park professionals, designers and community leaders with resources, education and advocacy that help create welcoming outdoor spaces where people of all ages and abilities can thrive.
