What is a custom playground? After years of research and thousands of custom

designs under our belts, we are pleased to announce: There is no definitive definition

of custom.

Along the way, we have explored many potential answers. Custom can be ...

A meaningful color scheme Play events and landscaping that provide integrated

challenges A mathematical theme Life-sized sculptures of nature Oversized

sculptures of nature Sculptures of nature from outer space A standard

component wrapped within a custom surround A playstructure that blends in with

the environment A playstructure that stands out boldly A plane, a bird, a colossal

maze of nets and climbers Signage that expresses school spirit, local lore, an

invitation to play a game A playspace that tells a story A playspace that inspires stories

The great thing about creating custom play adventures with Landscape Structures

is that there is no one way to do it. We can accommodate a range of desired

budgets, components, materials, themes, styles and footprints. From big

to small, extravagant to simple, modern to traditional, we want every custom

playground to be the coolest one in its community.
