Pacific Recreation playground design service is second to none in the playground industry. We strive to make all of our playground designs unique and custom tailored to your space, needs, budget and personal tastes. We have been planning and building playgrounds for many years, and have learned that Playground Design is much more than about playground equipment; but more importantly about the users (children) in the process. Using this special knowledge we are able to provide you with information about how children interact with playground equipment.

A playground is an investment, and like any investment proper planning is crucial to its long term success. There is far more to installing and constructing a playground then just showing up and putting the pieces together. This is why we have spent so much time developing our planning process. We plan our playgrounds literally from the ground up. Below is a brief synopsis of our process please.

We begin the playground planning process by accurately measuring the proposed playground area and meeting with the customer in person to discuss budget, wants and needs.

We then analyze the sub surface and drainage/water management of the area. Having a playground that is dry and drains quickly is of crucial importance, especially in Hawaii. Standing water, mud and puddles make for a very slick, dirty and dangerous playground that is prone to pests and insects.

The third step in our planning process is playground surfacing. We provide samples and discuss playground design and playground surfacing options, prices and qualities. A quality impact absorbing playground surface is not optional, it is the most important safety feature of any playground. This is why we address it so early in the planning process, before we even begin to consider actual equipment options.

Aside from public playgrounds; most playgrounds will require a system for security and containment. A fence of proper size should be installed at the playground to keep the children in the playground and unwanted or unauthorized individuals from using the playground both during and after business hours. We can provide you with fencing options and quotes. 

Once we have decided on the “foundations” of the playground, we can begin to discuss playground equipment, accessories and amenity options. By this point in the process we will have a better understanding budget wise of what your organization can afford.

 Once we have an idea of what types of playground equipment and features you would like and can afford; we provide you with accurate scale drawings depicting the equipment placement, safety zones and traffic control. You can actually see how your playground is going to look and be placed. We provide you with as many options as you would like within your budget so that you can be sure you’re getting exactly what you and the children want.

This is the best possible method to use when designing a playground, we have developed and honed this technique over the years, in doing so it allows us to precisely plan and construct your playground, saving you time and money from unforeseen costs or unexpected obstacles that arise due to inadequate planning.

It is important to remember that children will not be the only people present on the playground. Parents, teachers and families will most likely accompany their children. Playground amenities provide simple but valuable conveniences for these individuals. Equipment such as benches, picnic tables, bike racks and even handicapped access ramps will make the task of supervising children much easier.

Pacific Recreation also offers a large selection of playground site amenities including:

 * Benches * Shade Structures * Picnic Tables * Trash Receptacles * Bike Racks * ADA Access Ramps and Much More!

When we plan your new playground, we will be sure to inform you of what amenities may be useful given your area and layout.
