Our Approach
We bring play to life.
We are not just selling equipment. We are designing playgrounds that focus on active, engaged, robust play.
We have a 7 step approach:
Consultation: Education and Exploration
First, we listen and learn as much as we can about your playground project and your goals. This helps us understand your wants and needs, as well as any limitations that may affect the development of your perfect playground.
We can help you determine your design criteria, such as:
- Budget
- Space available
- Site requirements
- Time lines
- Any administrative hurdles
These criteria define our opportunity for helping you achieve your vision.
Vision
Your vision is what you hope your project to be when it is done.
PlayWorks has many unique options available for the design of your project. To serve you best and help you make informed decisions, we invite you to spend time with a PlayWorks play consultant with drawings, photographs, and videos to explore the options that appeal to you.
We also highly recommend that you go see some of our parks, and those of other playground companies to get a sense of what is available and what will engage your children.
Design
By combining your vision and our design philosophy, we design the ideal configuration of play equipment options to keep kids interested, excited and engaged.
Our wide range of manufacturers allows us to design a play area for how kids naturally play on a playground. With your play consultant, you can select the best equipment from each company; optimizing your budget and use of space.
Our goal is to provide a playground design that offers as much play value as possible, without compromising your adult needs for safety, durability, ease of maintenance, aesthetics or affordability.
Take your children to our recommended parks and you will see play come to life.
Proposal and Presentation
PlayWorks will present our initial design recommendations to you with site plans, 3D images, photographs, and costing. The layout and products we propose will be based on criteria you provide.
We truly believe that our designs developed with you, will offer incomparable play value for your children.
Final Design: Refinements and Alterations
As you look at more playgrounds and playground designs you will develop your own expertise.
When you make your final decision on what you want in your park, we will take your feedback and revise our designs to be more specific to your new understanding of how good your park can be. Revisions are a welcome part of the process.
We also can provide site furnishing recommendations through ParkWorks to complete your outdoor space.
Installation
After choosing the design and equipment, PlayWorks will help coordinate and manage the installation to ensure your playground is installed properly.
Each municipality or school board has its own way of managing the construction of playgrounds, the site preparations and landscaping needs. For example, some sites allow installation by supervised volunteers where others may require a professional installation company.
PlayWorks will use our relationships with suppliers, trucking companies, installers, landscapers and project administrators to make the installation as seamless as possible.
Play
We know our design philosophy works. The proof is in the playgrounds we have built.
It’s going to be a playground we will all be proud to show off.
We bring play to life.
