Design Playgrounds That Transform Communities

The Community Impact Advantage Program from Play & Park Structures helps you create one-of-a-kind playgrounds built around how children actually play — funded, designed, and powered by your community.

Maximize Your Impact

Most playgrounds are built to meet minimum requirements — not maximum impact.

At Play & Park Structures, we believe playgrounds are more than just places to play—they are catalysts for social, economic, and physical well-being. Our Community Impact Advantage program provides expert guidance to help you design and fund playgrounds that truly serve your community.

What Is the Community Impact Advantage Program?

The Community Impact Advantage Program is a comprehensive process that helps you move from vision to reality. We connect funding, community insight, thoughtful design, and real-world data to build playgrounds that live at the heart of your community.

  • Funding Support

    Our team helps you navigate grants and funding options so your project can move from idea to reality.

  • Community Engagement

    Public engagement surveys gather real input so the playground reflects the needs, priorities, and voices of your community.

  • Intentional Playground Design

    Our Design Studio transforms feedback into inclusive, customized play spaces that celebrate your community’s identity.

  • Data-Driven Results

    Post-installation reporting and National Demonstration Site tools help you show impact, attract sponsors, and support future funding requests.

Funding Made Simple

Finding and securing funding can be overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Our team supports your efforts with customized grant alerts, application tools, and exclusive funding opportunities available only through Play & Park Structures.

Community Engagement

Our public engagement surveys help you gather meaningful feedback from residents, families, and stakeholders. Surveys are customizable, multilingual, and crafted to provide clear, visual reports that inform your design decisions and strengthen funding applications.

  • Community-Centered Design– Use real-world input to guide decisions and design outcomes.
  • Data-Driven Reports– Receive easy to understand summaries that highlight priorities and support funding requests.
  • Collaborative Alignment– Build buy-in and transparency with stakeholders throughout the process.
Intentional Design

From survey results to detailed 3D renderings, our Design Studio connects community voices with creative playground solutions.

Using the documentation generated from your Public Engagement Survey, our Design Studio team collaborates with you to design a playground that reflects your community’s unique vision. We combine purposeful planning, National Demonstration Site principles, and local storytelling to bring your project to life.

Data- Driven Results

Measure how your playground is used, who it serves, and how it supports healthier communities.

Once your playground is installed, our Community Impact Advantage tools continue to work for you. Post-installation reports and National Demonstration Site resources help you document outcomes, demonstrate success, and uncover opportunities for future investment.

What Makes This Program Different

The Community Impact Advantage doesn’t just build playgrounds — it measures their impact.

When your project exceeds minimum design standards, it can earn National Demonstration Site recognition through the PlayCore Center for Outreach, Research & Education.

The program tracks community engagement, health and wellness impact, and physical activity benefits—data that demonstrates the real value of thoughtful playground design.

What This Program Delivers

Turning thoughtful design into tangible community impact.

This program helps build stronger, healthier communities by expanding inclusive play opportunities and increasing physical activity for children and adults.

It supports the creation of spaces that reflect local identity while also providing the data communities need to secure future funding and drive continued growth.
