THE PLAYGROUND PLANNING PLAYBOOK
A complete commercial playground planning guide for creating places children and families genuinely want to use.
Successful playground projects begin long before the equipment is selected. The Playground Planning Playbook is a comprehensive 48-page digital resource that guides parks departments, schools, HOAs, churches, developers, landscape architects, and community organizations through the complete playground planning and design process.
From defining your project vision and evaluating the site to developing the play experience, organizing the layout, building a realistic budget, and preparing for construction, this professional playbook helps your team make better decisions before those decisions become expensive to change.
Inside the playbook:
A complete six-phase playground project roadmap
Community and stakeholder planning frameworks
Site evaluation and playground risk assessment tools
Playground circulation, drainage, grading, shade, and accessibility guidance
Commercial playground design and activity-mix strategies
Inclusive playground planning principles
Age-appropriate play and graduated-challenge frameworks
Playground zoning, sightline, supervision, and adjacency guidance
Full-project budgeting and cost-control considerations
Playground surfacing, phasing, procurement, and scheduling guidance
Concept evaluation and project scorecards
Preconstruction, installation, inspection, and closeout checklists
Six reusable worksheets and a practical 90-day action plan
This guide is ideal for anyone planning a new commercial playground, replacing an existing playground, evaluating playground design proposals, preparing a capital budget, or organizing a community playground project.
Instead of beginning with a catalog, begin with a clear purpose, an informed site plan, and a complete understanding of the experience you want to create.
