PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
FOR SCHOOLS
Elements of a successful project
The Miracle PlaySystems Best Practices Series of articles explore the theory, practice (and fun) of playground design. In this article we explore what makes a design and build project of playground equipment for schools successful -- from discovery and planning, to structures, accessibility, safety and more.
We understand that each community and the goals of every project are unique, and our expertise includes accommodations for special requests of our customers. Our planning services include site analysis, long-range needs assessments, regulatory laws and considerations. When we work our partners in the schools - facility managers, the office of superintendent, the PTA and parents and community members - to evaluate playground equipment for school, there are many decisions to be made. Together we consider playground accessibility, budget, even climate to think about standing up to the elements.

We look at current district equipment inventory and evaluate each structure for safety compliance, and we use the industry-standard CMAS pricing contract to save significant cost and time. Like you, we want the kids playing on their new playground as soon as we can make it happen, so working within proper regulations and avoiding the need for public bid requirements is helpful for everyone. Our commitment to strong project management includes collaborating on facility timelines for updating play structures and playground site amenities over a long time-horizon. I’s just smart practice.
