Planning a commercial playground involves a lot more than choosing playground equipment.

Before selecting a structure, it’s important to think about who will use the space, how many children it needs to accommodate, accessibility, safety surfacing, shade, site layout, budget, and how the entire outdoor environment will work together.

The decisions made during the planning stage can have a major impact on how well a playground serves a school, park, daycare, church, HOA, or community for years to come.

Our latest guide, Commercial Playground Design: How to Plan the Right Playground, walks through the key considerations to help you plan a space that fits your site, your users, and your goals.

If a new playground or park improvement project is on your horizon, this is a great place to start.

One of the first questions we hear from schools, parks, churches, HOAs, and municipalities is: "How much does a commercial playground actually cost?"

The answer depends on much more than the play structure itself. Site preparation, safety surfacing, installation, shade, accessibility, and custom design all play a role in creating a safe, long-lasting play space.

Our article breaks down:
→ Key factors that impact project costs
→ What to include in your playground budget
→ Ways to maximize your investment
→ Tips for planning a project that fits your community's needs

Whether you're replacing an aging playground or planning a brand-new destination, understanding the full scope of the project can help you avoid unexpected costs and make informed decisions.

Project Spotlight: Grady ISD

Grady ISD wanted an outdoor space that would give students more ways to play, move, compete, and spend time outside—especially older kids who can quickly outgrow a traditional playground.

Playgrounds Etc. helped create a multi-zone recreation space featuring:

✨Active Series obstacle-course equipment with a Ninja Warrior-style experience designed to challenge older students
✨A traditional commercial playground with climbing and sliding activities
✨Large commercial shade structures covering key play areas
✨Customized synthetic turf safety surfacing incorporating Grady ISD school colors and logos
✨Shaded seating and gathering areas for students and staff
✨And one of our favorite features: custom turf football field

The football field has been a huge hit with both the school and the kids. It turns what could have simply been safety surfacing into another active play opportunity and gives students a dedicated space for football, games, PE activities, and friendly competition.

This project is a great example of how a school playground can go beyond a single play structure. By combining traditional playground equipment with obstacle-course challenges, sports, shade, seating, and customized surfacing, Grady ISD now has an outdoor environment that can engage students across a much wider range of ages and interests.

Planning a new school playground in Texas? Playgrounds Etc. can help design the entire outdoor space—from commercial playground equipment and Active Series challenges to shade structures, safety surfacing, site amenities, and custom turf.

Planning a Commercial Playground in Texas?

Before you start choosing playground equipment, make sure you know what your total project budget needs to cover.

Equipment is only part of the cost. Installation, safety surfacing, freight, site preparation, shade and other site needs can have a major impact on your final budget.

Our Commercial Playground Budget Guide for Texas breaks down what schools, daycares, churches, HOAs, parks and municipalities should consider before starting a project.

Learn how to:

• Build a more realistic playground budget
• Understand where your money goes
• Compare surfacing and installation considerations
• Get more play value from your available budget
• Avoid unexpected project costs
• Plan for shade and Texas conditions

Slides and swings will always have a place on the playground—but what happens when kids outgrow the traditional play experience?

That’s where active playgrounds and obstacle-course equipment come in.

From balance beams and cargo nets to climbing challenges and agility elements, today’s playgrounds can give older kids a place to:

💪 Build strength, coordination & endurance
🧠 Practice problem-solving and strategic thinking
🙌 Build confidence and resilience
🤝 Connect and play cooperatively
🏃 Stay active without feeling like they’re “working out”

Across Texas, schools, parks and communities are looking for ways to create play spaces that challenge kids as they grow. An obstacle-course playground can turn outdoor play into an adventure that keeps big kids moving, engaged and coming back for more.

Could your Texas school or community use a playground designed for the 5–12 crowd?
