Planning & Design

Creating a playground with PlaySouth and Burke!

Play is central to our lives and a well-designed play environment brings kids and families together outdoors and fosters a sense of community within schools, neighborhoods and churches. From all types of development and physical movement to social and cognitive growth, play is essential for people of all ages and abilities throughout all stages of life. Designing a playspace that will serve your community now and into the future requires careful planning, consideration and, let’s be honest, a whole lot of fun. Contact us to get started!

Site Assessment

A site assessment can be compared to taking measurements before buying a dress or suit – the more accurate, the better fit you will get. When a playspace is meant to serve the community for years to come, an accurate site assessment for an accurate fit is even more important! We will help answer any questions and probably even ask questions that can help you get a play environment that will best serve your community. Learn more here.

Playground Design

A properly designed play environment creates the social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth that transcends the playspace and helps everyone find the best of themselves through play. We partner with Burke’s talented design team to create a playspace that is certain to be a destination for people to gather, develop, engage and have fun together. You can show off your space with the best 3D designs in the industry from our team to yours. These designs can be shared with donors, community members and children to get everyone excited and raise awareness about the new playspace.

Playground Funding

While we’re designing a play environment for your community, you can relax and spend some time exploring options and programs that can help obtain playground funding. Burke offers a variety of resources and we can assist you with any questions or provide more information on any of these options.

Delivery

The day your new Burke playground equipment arrives is exciting, fun and one step closer to having an incredible new playspace for your community. Receiving your commercial playground, and eventually completing installation, is one of the most important steps in the process. We make sure you're ready to receive the playground equipment by letting you know exactly when it will arrive and how you need to prepare. Children will soon be able to have fun and play on this new playground!

Playground Installation

Some organizations prefer to have us handle the entire installation, whereas others like to take a team approach to build enthusiasm and promote a sense of community through a community build. In either case, you can count on us to make sure your site is properly prepared and to ensure that your playground installation is done right and in compliance with industry safety guidelines.
