Children are more than just little bodies. They have developing
minds, growing personalities, and impressionable spirits. That’s
why at Grounds For Play we seek to encourage, inspire and
empower children through our play environments. Our mission
is to design and build outdoor play environments for children
of all ages that are safe and encourage social, emotional,
language, cognitive, motor and physical skill development.
We trust you’ll enjoy our uniquely designed Grounds For Play
play environments just as much as your children. Let’s work
together to capture the unique spirit, vision, and character of
your project.
play environments NOT JUST PLAYGROUNDS
are our specialty!
groundsforplay.com | 1
We are built on an understanding of child development, play,
and safety, which is reflected in the playground equipment
we manufacture and the play environments we design. Our
understanding allows children to learn a variety of developmental
skills while having fun and staying safe on the playground.
We plan educational, safe, and unique play environments, not just
playgrounds. Our environment plans address comprehensive issues,
age-specific needs, and are centered around your objectives. With
over 15,000 playgrounds on our resumé, we have a breadth of
knowledge regarding different regions and climates which could
effect your play environment.
We are committed to staying with our clients from start to finish,
from the first consultation to the ribbon cutting. Our trained
staff and safety-certified installers work together to make your
environment and playground planning experience a successful one.
very different AND PROUD OF IT!

an extraordinary RECORD OF SAFETY!
Our extraordinary record of safety has allowed us to become the
safest playground manufacturer in the industry. Our commitment
to safety is reflected in each phase of our planning process — from
the materials we use while manufacturing the playground to the
strategic environment design elements like our 6’ obstruction free
fall zones. To ensure that we are not only meeting but exceeding
the standards of ASTM International and the recommendations of
the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), all of our plans
are reviewed by a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI). Our
unique safety standards and commitment to children help make
your play environment the safest it can be!

Physical Play
Movement play, primarily found in physical play, helps to strengthen
the body and helps in the development of gross motor skills.
Additionally, physical play allows for many learning opportunities
in adaptability, flexibility and resilience.
Music & Artistic Play
When allowed to create, whether that be a musical piece or an
art piece, children can access their playfulness, creativity, and
innovative spirits. Music and artistic play also helps to develop a
child’s fine motor skills.
Dramatic Play
Dramatic play allows children to act out everyday scenes allowing
them to make sense of their surroundings and watch life stories
unfold. Dramatic play also encourages communication, sharing,
creativity and emotional play.
Natural Play & the Outdoor Classroom
Research shows children benefit greatly from daily connections with
nature. Additionally, natural play gives a child the opportunity to
explore and understand nature — from caring for flowers and plants
to exploring the ground for creatures.
four important TYPES OF PLAY!

the best solutions. They believe that good playgrounds don’t just

Customer Interview
We start by asking you critical questions that will help make your
playground successful and meet your vision and mission. Examples
include:
• What are the goals for your playground?
• What is your curriculum?
• What areas of child development would you like to address?
Site Review & Preliminary Planning
Keeping in mind your budget, available space, intended users,
goals and many other factors, we suggest the level of service
that’s right for you; whether it’s one piece of quality equipment
or the planning and development of your entire outdoor learning
environment. When planning your entire play area, we will apply
the knowledge we have gained in doing more than 15,000
playground projects during the past three decades to create
an environment that fosters the physical, cognitive, social and
emotional development of your children.
Safety & Developmental Review
We understand that there is nothing more important than safety,
which is why every plan is reviewed by experts in early childhood
education for developmental appropriateness and by our Design
Consultants, who are Certified Playground Safety Inspectors, for
safety and functionality, aligning your playground with state and
national standards.
Final Plan
We provide a detailed computer aided design (CAD) drawing that
captures your vision for your playground. This plan will showcase
your full play environment and bring your vision to life.
Manufacturing
Your play equipment is expertly crafted in the United States to
exacting standards by our own craftsmen and is created with
careful attention to detail and safety.
Installation
The last and most exciting step is our installation process!
You will receive a packet containing information that will help you
prepare for the installation process. If professional installation from
Grounds For Play is chosen, your project manager will schedule the
installation of your playground equipment and coordinate all the
ancillary services to get your playground finished on schedule.

Research shows children need recess. Not only does it boost social and physical development, it increases focus while children are in the classroom. Woodland Springs’ outdoor play environment encourages both social and physical development through their play structure and surrounding components. Featuring climbers, slides, and an Airplane Panel (which encourages parallel play), musical instruments and a Weather Station, Woodland Springs is a great reference project for those with a small space but seeking great, beneficial play.

Infants need safe places to crawl without the worry of being interrupted by older children.
For this reason, Grounds For Play has created Infant Gazebos and Activity Centers. Models

keeping infants inside or allowing them to venture out.

SurfacingThe surface around playground equipment is a critical aspect of play environment design, directly affecting safety,
accessibility, cost, and usability. Since safety is our first concern, we recommend only those surface materials that
have proven track records — not just at the time of installation but over several years and in varying conditions.
The rubber surfacing products we offer do not contain containments that are harmful to children.

Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP)
The 4” x 4” Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer posts found on
our play equipment are extruded from a composite resin
material and have a wall thickness of .22”, the thickest in the
playground industry! Corners are rounded for safety and our
composite roof and deck brackets contribute to the overall
low-maintenance and rust-free nature of our equipment.
Trex®
Trex® consists of recycled post-consumer plastic and recycled
post-production or recovered wood fibers, providing an
inviting natural wood look without the maintenance. Decks,
ramps, and bridges are manufactured using Trex®, which
provides a child-friendly, low-maintenance, slip-resistant
surface even when wet. Available in a variety of colors, Trex®
won’t crack or peel like PVC-coated decks, which are typical
of most playground equipment.
Polytone
Polytone panels are machine-cut from extruded, stress-
relieved, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic in 1/2” or
3/4” thickness, depending on the application. The molded-in
color and durable plastic provide low-maintenance and cost-
effective components.
Rotationally Molded Plastic
Rotationally molded one-piece slides and roofs are durable,
colorful, and low-maintenance features of all our play
systems. The linear low-density polyethylene components
are manufactured with a minimum 3/16” wall thickness.
Metal
Our rails, posts, handrails, ladders and other metal
components are manufactured using RS20 Flocoat Steel
Tubing. Welds are de-burred before a high-quality, dry
polyester powder-coated finish is applied.
Hardware
Our hardware has been selected for quality and durability.
Stainless steel hardware is used in over 90% of all
applications, except in specific applications such as drilling
through hardened steel where a Tek Bi-Metal Steel Shaft
Screw is used with a stainless steel head.
