Playground Cost Field Guide

$0.00

HOW MUCH DOES A COMMERCIAL PLAYGROUND REALLY COST?

A practical guide to budgeting for the entire playground project—not just the equipment.

The equipment price is only the beginning. Surfacing, installation, freight, demolition, grading, drainage, accessible routes, shade, furnishings, permitting, and contingency can significantly shape the final investment.

This free 12-page field guide helps you understand where the money goes, identify costs that are often overlooked, and begin your project with a more complete and realistic budget.

Inside the guide:

  • The full-project cost framework

  • The Playground Budget Iceberg

  • Essential cost categories

  • Common site-condition surprises

  • Surfacing and lifecycle considerations

  • Three illustrative planning scenarios

  • A pre-quote project checklist

Ideal for parks departments, schools, HOAs, churches, childcare centers, developers, and anyone beginning a commercial playground project.
