Dedicated Design
Our dedicated Design team helps us turn a great discussion and visualization. We help support our Landscape Architect partners to help define spatial requirements and plan for and layout equipment with playground safety requirements in mind. We also provide full render services to turn 2D Plan View layouts into 3D concepts in various formats and are versed in AutoCAD, 3ds Max and SkethUp to help support your project needs.
Inclusive Appeal
When you design a park or common space, you want to add features that appeal to the community at large, where people of all ages and abilities feel safe and welcome. At Northwest Playground Equipment our wide range of Manufacturer Partners gives us access to the widest array of inclusive experts available. We can help combine different features, surfaces, and even the surrounding landscape to ensure that the spaces we are creating are inclusive for all.
Landscape Experts
Modern playground design is no longer limited to designing in a level, rectangular box. We can now design a fully immersive playground literally built into a hillside with, or even create a playable retention wall themed like a playable feature. We are experts in pushing the limits of play so let us know your ideas and we'll help identify the best solutions to meet your vision.
Sustainable
Finding sustainable equipment that will last for years is a top priority for many who care about the legacy of their spaces. We work with manufacturers that care just as much about the environment and it's impact on play as we do. Our roster of manufacturing partners includes multiple LEED-certified facilities and products that are 99.999% PVC Free. From cradle-to-cradle our products are carefully selected to represent the best in green action.
Lunch & Learns
Looking to become an expert at a certain outdoor amenity? We can help with that! Northwest Playground Equipment offers both in person and virtual Lunch & Learns that can provide a general overview of our services and be contoured to a specific field that your team is interested in. Many of our manufacturers support CEU accredited courses that can also be offered in a Lunch & Learn format.

Shelters + Shade
Covered spaces are valuable for visitors in any outdoor area and can make an impactful visual statement on a landscape. Whether you're looking for a weatherproof picnic shelter, pockets of shade for the Summer months, or want to design a completely unique one-of-a-kind shelter we can help:
Site Furnishings
Additional site amenities can help provide the finishing touch that makes a park complete. Adding benches, tables, and trash receptacles can make a park more comfortable for users and provide additional social opportunities for kids:
Sports Equipment + Asphalt Games
The addition of a basketball hoop, pickle ball court, soccer goals, or volleyball are great additions for multi-generational park amenities to serve a new outdoor area for generations to come:
