Testimonials

Trusted by Hundreds of Schools Across Canada

"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 Design!"

"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!"

"Park N Play Design provides intriguing, innovative and well-thought-out play structures that align with our strict budgets.  Proposal submissions are clear, concise and easy to interpret. Throughout the competitive process, responses to questions and requests for modifications to structures to support the overall vision have been met with enthusiasm and in a timely manner. A company valuing true customer service.
Our customer service rep, Tim Aylesworth, provides a wealth of knowledge and is the consummate professional.  I appreciate that when faced with obstacles during and after the installation phase, Tim and his professional team stepped in immediately, rectified the issues and left behind a beautiful and safe play environment for our children. Regina Catholic Schools has had a very successful relationship with Park N Play Design and I am pleased to offer a recommendation based on my experiences with this first-rate company."

"Park N Play Design worked within our required budget constraints and timeline to supply the designated playground on time for back-to-school. We are extremely happy with the service that we received. The playground was a large school and community fundraising commitment, so it was very important to us that everything was done correctly and on time. Bob was able to solve in process issues and to work within the limitations of the summer weather to be able to help us out and keep things on track for the grand opening. As a school, we would recommend dealing with Bob and Park N Play Design for any playground project."

"I had the pleasure of working with Shelley Robinson at Park N Play Design for over five years designing and building new playgrounds. I never hesitate to recommend Shelley to any playground committee as one of our great consultants. Shelley has a passion for inclusive play while recognizing the reality of budget limitations. She is great to work with on all types of projects, from very small phased projects to large and unique projects. Shelley is always up for a challenge and is a great team player. I look forward to working with her in the future again."

"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."
