I am looking to start a playground in my community and was wondering where to start?

Melanie asked:


Also wondering if anyone knew of a good place to look at playground equipment, I would like it to be for kids six and under. Thanks!
Definitely for the kids and not for profit, we have playgrounds for older kids but I would like to have one specifically catering to the preschool bunch. A community about an hour from us has one and we fell in love.

      Do you want the city to build a playground or do you want to own one for profit?

      The home depot or what they require of material and donations of material and find out what they require of material and find out what ever you then go.
      The store manager about funding and find out what ever you then go to the store manager about funding and donations of material and donations of you then go to the home depot or what ever you then.

      If you are wondering about funding, then I would look into your state’s recreation and tourism department. Our community created a park using a grant from the Oklahoma Tourism dept. It had some matching funds included, but you can use volunteer time as part of the matching funds.

      As far as the actual playground equipment that you install, you will need to make sure that it meets code. Also, the surface that the equipment is placed on must meet certain codes. I would suggest talking to your parks and recreation department. Good luck to you….be prepared for a lot of hard work, but it comes with great rewards!

      For gift certificates and use those as community development if your community ask local organizations like girlboy scouts local high school clubs or any.

      Lowe’s Home Improvement provides funding and materials also. Check with your local manager or their website.
