Park Playground Equipment
Budgeting for Park Play Equipment
We understand that parks and recreation departments do not always have a large budget to accommodate a new playground. To make play accessible for all children, we offer a variety of tips and options to help you afford your dream playground, including:
- Grant funding: Sources such as state and local governments, foundations, nonprofits and corporations all offer grants you can use to fund your playground project. With hundreds available, the challenge is finding the right one. Playworld offers a grant guide to help you determine what grants your park qualifies for.
- Fundraising: For a locally-based option, try hosting a few fundraising events. You could even host a food and/or drink sale at the park itself, which would give people the chance to see where the playground will go and visualize the potential, making them more invested in the cause.
- Community build: To really engage and excite your community while also saving big on costs, organize a community build. Installation costs typically account for 25-45% of budgets, so taking on the task as a community is also a great way to save money. People can help in all kinds of ways, from the building itself to planning and day-of logistics and more. Your local Playworld representative will also supervise and provide your community with guidance as you work to install the equipment.
- Financing: We also offer different financing options and are always willing to try and work with your budget. One option to consider is our phasing program, which allows you to pay in "phases" as we complete the different sections. Another option is leasing, where we can tailor a payment schedule to what works for your budget.
