Site furnishings make a playground feel finished — or unfinished. Picnic tables, benches, bike racks, trash cans — the stuff that surrounds the equipment matters.

Wabash Valley is where most of ours come from. Built right, built to last Iowa winters. We spec it, we install it. One order, one crew.

Important distinction that doesn't get talked about enough:

ADA compliant ≠ Inclusive.

ADA compliance is the legal minimum. Inclusive play means kids of all abilities can actually play together — same structure, same experience. Those are two very different things.

We design for inclusive. Ask us what that looks like for your space.

Grant season is officially open.

Here's something a lot of our customers don't know: we have an in-house fundraising coach — Jason — who helps you find grants, write for them, and actually land them. It's free when you work with us. No extra cost, no third-party referral.

If funding is what's standing between you and a playground, let's talk. That conversation doesn't cost anything either.

Little Tikes Commercial is the reason we do what we do.

We're the Iowa rep for their full equipment line — and every piece of it gets installed by our own crew, not a subcontractor. So when something needs attention six months later, the same people who built it are the ones who fix it.

That's a big deal in this industry. Most companies can't say it.

Thank you Jessica and the City of Melbourne for trusting us with this awesome project! It couldn’t have turned out much better and I’m excited to see what #2 has in store!

School will be back in session before we know it. Dallas Center Elementary playground is ready to welcome the kids on day one. Few feelings beat that first recess on a new playground.

USA Shade isn’t just rectangle sails. Cantilevers over bleachers. Hip structures over splash pads. Custom configurations wherever the sun’s coming from. If you can sketch it, we can probably shade it.
