Why choose playground refurbishment?

Refurbishing an existing playground is a cost-effective and sustainable way to extend the life of valuable equipment while improving safety, performance, and play value. Why build new when you can refurbish and preserve familiar play spaces that children already love! Refurbishing is an amazing option to upgrade a playground at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of building new.

Refurbishing a playground can range from a light refresh to a full redesign. Here are your main options, depending on budget, goals, and site condition:

• Replace worn-out components (swings, chains, slides, panels, climbing structures) or add/integrate inclusive elements (accessible swings, ground-level play panels, sensory features, rope courses, climbing walls).

• Repaint metal structures (includes being sandblasted back to original steel for the best result) and clean and timber stain wood surfaces.

• Upgrade health & safety by replacing fasteners, hardware, safety caps and removing entrapment hazards or adding safety structures (shade sails, seating, site accessibility) to meet current safety standards.

• Refresh or upgrade to safer surfacing for accessibility by topping up/adding playground certified bark or woodchip or repairing/replacing rubber tiles.
