- Brand strength: A compliant, inclusive playground signals excellence to families and donors.
Safety & Compliance (CPSC • ASTM • ADA)
We plan and install to the standards your insurer and inspectors expect:
- CPSC Public Playground Safety Handbook (2025 update)
- ASTM F1487 — public-use equipment, ages 2–12
- ADA/Access Board: Play Areas — accessible routes + inclusive components
Outcome: correct use zones, compliant fall heights and surfacing depths, and ADA routes that pass inspection.
Tie Play to Learning Outcomes (K-12)
Design the playground as an outdoor lab aligned to K-12 physical education outcomes and wellness goals:
- Zones for balance, climbing, upper-body, and cooperative games.
- Ground-level play and transfer platforms for inclusive access.
- Circuit layouts that support daily activity targets and PE standards.
See reference frameworks from SHAPE America’s National PE Standards and CDC activity guidance.
Surfacing & Risk Management
- EWF (engineered wood fiber): budget-friendly; requires maintenance and top-offs.
- Rubber mulch: clean look; maintain depth for fall heights.
- Synthetic turf: consistent footing; plan drainage and infill.
- Poured-in-place (PIP): premium, seamless access; verify sub-base and warranties.
We match surfacing type and depth to equipment fall heights, your climate, and maintenance capacity.
Maintenance & Inspections
Protect students and your risk profile with scheduled inspections and logs. Consider third-party review by a CPSI-certified inspector. Keep a simple monthly checklist (fastener torque, surfacing depths, entrapment points) and document corrective actions.
