Commercial playgrounds


Commercial Playgrounds are developed to provide fun for 14 or more children in a safe environment. There are distinct differences between Commercial and Residential Playgrounds. Residential Playgrounds, though safe, are typically made out of lumber and do not have safety guidelines set up by different associations. The safety of the Commercial Playgrounds is governed by several different organizations. They include: Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), National Program for Playground Safety, A.S.T.M. International, ADA Accessibility Guidelines, and National Child Care Association. One can usually find commercial playgrounds at public parks, fast food restaurants, indoor play places, schools, and churches. Prices for a commercial playground depend on size and the type of components on them. The prices range from typically $10,000 to $150,000.

Commercial Playgrounds are indoor or outdoor structures meant design to handle large volume of traffic. The playgrounds are designed with both safety and fun in mind to ensure a good time for the children and peace of mind for parents and guardians.

Commercial playgrounds started as slides and climbing structures being put next to one another and then eventually being combined. Since those early days Commercial playgrounds have grown into a multi-million dollar industry with playgrounds having multiple levels, climbing structures, slides, play panels, and stations.
