Complete Environments-Providing One Trusted Source

Wouldn't it be great to streamline the design, sourcing, purchasing, delivery coordination, installation and follow up procedures from multiple vendors to a single, trusted partner? Now you can. Our goal is to help you leverage the expertise and capabilities of our broad portfolio and make specifying easier, project execution simpler, and community results faster. 

With the broadest selection of products and services for play and recreation spaces, along with research based design, installation, project management, and data service options, it’s never been easier to plan and build the perfect outdoor environment that has lasting impact.

The Extra Touches That Make Building Your Space Even Easier

By offering turnkey services, we make it easier for large-scale projects to be completed smoothly and on time. We can handle the entire scope from conceptualization to installation, to data reporting to help manage, maximize and meet project goals.

Share and Showcase the Validated Impact of Your Space

PlayCore offers data services through its National Demonstration Site Network (NDS) and CORE Data Service Lab. First we work with you to put research into practice, building play and adult fitness sites that align to evidence based practice, known as National Demonstration Sites.  Each NDS receives data storytelling reports that provide community leaders with data on the impact and usage of their play and recreation spaces. This data is used to measure community health and wellness outcomes, attract funding, and advocate for parks and recreation.

Put Research Into Practice and Receive Personalized Data

National Demonstration Sites (NDS) are play and/or fitness sites that have been designed and built using comprehensive, validated research to help ensure active usage and community engagement. They receive recognition, demonstrate impact through data outcomes, and receive site-specific data reports to share and showcase their impact on community health and wellness.
