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.
