From Dirt to Destination: The Complete Playground Project Construction Roadmap
Building a commercial playground involves far more than installing equipment. From Dirt to Destination is a practical playground construction guide that follows the complete project-delivery process—from preconstruction planning and site preparation through equipment installation, safety surfacing, inspection, closeout, and opening day.
Inside this 43-page professional guide, you’ll learn how to coordinate playground construction stages, project responsibilities, submittals, schedules, utilities, drainage, earthwork, aggregate base, concrete foundations, accessible routes, equipment, shade, surfacing, landscaping, testing, and final acceptance. It also explains the critical hold points where work should be reviewed and documented before the next construction layer conceals it.
The guide includes a ten-stage playground construction roadmap plus eight field-ready tools for responsibility assignments, inspection hold points, submittal tracking, daily reports, concealed-work documentation, change management, punch lists, project closeout, and opening authorization. These practical resources help owners and project teams protect the construction sequence, coordinate trades, reduce costly surprises, and create a more complete project record.
Created for parks and recreation departments, schools, municipalities, HOAs, churches, childcare centers, landscape architects, general contractors, playground installers, project managers, and community organizations, this guide provides a clearer framework for managing a commercial playground project from raw site to completed destination.
