Do you provide any financial options?

Yes! There are many options to help you achieve a new play space for your school, church or community. Play & Park Structures is part of several buying cooperatives (TCPN and GSA, for example). They are national purchasing cooperatives, leveraging large pools of purchasing potential, allowing you to buy without going through the bid process. Play & Park Structures also offers our customers the ability to purchase through our leasing program, powered by Navitas. You can access the application form HERE.

We are a small community. Where can we find funding or better pricing?

Play & Park Structures will give you the best price possible. But by leveraging buying contracts or our leasing program, you can maximize your budget. Check out the Funding section of our website HERE

How do I contact a representative close to me?

We have knowledgeable recreation consultants across the country. Visit our 'Find your Consultant' locator to learn more about your local representative and their contact information.

What is the estimated project timeline?

Choosing a pre-designed structure from our website or catalog is the quickest way to get your system delivered, but we also offer designs created just for you. Custom designs will add to the timeline, as they will need to be designed and rendered according to your specifications. After your order is placed, your equipment should arrive within 3-4 weeks.

What if I find damaged parts after delivery?

Some damaged parts may be found at the time of installation as each part is attached to the system. If a damaged part is discovered during installation, contact your representative as soon as possible. Keep the packaging and paperwork for that item until the issue is resolved.

How much do your playgrounds cost?

Playground pricing depends on many factors including the size of your space and the specific products you choose. We can design a playground for almost any budget. If cost is an issue, it is a good idea to look at freestanding items to add play value at less cost than a full play system.

How do your playground’s designs promote safety?

All of our individual products are designed with the children who will use them in mind. All products are IPEMA certified in compliance to ASTM standards. We also strive to meet CPSC and CSA standards for product design and safety. As they design your structure, our playground experts look at such things as height of the playground components, required use zones, and pathways that encourage a good flow of traffic within the play space to eliminate unnecessary hazards.
