Design a Safe, Inclusive Playground That Parents and Kids Will Love

Park N Play Design specializes in CSA-compliant, developmentally appropriate playgrounds for daycares and early childcare centers. From tight spaces to tight budgets, we help you create vibrant spaces that support learning, movement, and inclusive play.

Small Spaces.
Big Expectations.

Running a daycare means juggling licensing requirements, parent expectations, and developmental needs—often in limited space with limited budget. But a poorly designed playground isn’t just a missed opportunity—it can compromise safety, learning, and reputation.

Trusted by Hundreds of Canadian Daycares and Early Learning Centers

We’ve helped early childhood providers across Canada design safe, engaging, and inclusive playgrounds that meet CSA standards, promote physical development, and win parent approval. With over 5,000 projects delivered, we know what it takes to deliver a playground that kids, staff, and parents all love.

Testimonials

Hear From the Daycares Who’ve Done It Right

"Park N Play Design was quick to respond, provided lots of follow-ups, and cared about our experience. This was the best communication I've ever had for a playground project, and it was just a small addition. I've spent over $100K on a playground before with competitors and never got this kind of service!"

"Tim was instrumental in assisting our school community with the initial planning, design, budget and implementation of our school playground project. From the initial tendering process through to assistance in planning our site, he provided not only expected support but also his own personal involvement in the project on-site. Every step of the way was provided for us in terms of instructions and completeness of the project.
We never felt left alone and were amazed at the resources that were given to us. I would not hesitate to recommend him or Park N Play Design for any project, large or small, where safety, planning and future needs are discussed and encouraged."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Shelley and the Park N Play Design team. The professionalism, attention to detail and communication was such a positive and seamless experience. We had a really tight timeline, and Shelley and her crew got the job done. Her enthusiasm for her job is infectious, and I would highly recommend Park N Play Design to any other school or community looking to build a park. Thank you again for getting us exactly what we wanted for our school and our students. We are truly grateful.”

"We recently had Park N Play install a new playground, and we couldn't be happier with the end result! The kids are having a blast, and the new playground is full every recess. Bob, Dustin, and the rest of the installation team were such a pleasure to work with. They were patient and clear in their instructions, always willing to discuss and explain what was going on, and most importantly, they were just fun to work with. Our Sales rep, Shelley, made sure everything went smoothly. We are so happy with the final result. I am happy to speak positively about my experience with you to anyone who asks! Thanks Park N Play!"

"Thank you very much to you and your staff for an outstanding job on this project. James, Josh, and Jaimie were exceptional to work with throughout the installation of the playground. Their dedication to making everything 100% is refreshing to see. The attention to detail on the install has been as good as any project that I have been involved in over the past 30 years.
