Out of all the tens of thousands of playgrounds and parks across Canada, only a small percentage of them are inclusive, accessible, and designed for use by the entire community.
While it's easier than ever to get a cookie-cutter design for your upcoming project, it's harder than ever to build a playground or park that can serve the entire community for decades to come. We're on a mission to change that.
Most organizations have two challenges when it comes to building inclusive and accessible playgrounds and parks.
Understanding the latest safety, accessibility, and inclusivity regulations and best practices
Choosing the right equipment and designs for your specific school, community, or park
That's why we built Park N Play Design—to give organizations like yours a partner that you can trust to deliver a top-notch playground or park that meets the needs of those using it.
In the last twenty years we've helped thousands of organizations (like yours) design, build, and install 5000+ playgrounds and parks. I'd love for you to be our next success story.

Founder & President of Park N Play Design
At Brighton Core Park in Saskatoon, we collaborated with Stantec and Dream to transform a 23-acre area into a vibrant community hub. By adhering to evidence-based design principles, including the 7 Principles of Inclusive Playground Design, we ensured the park offers equitable play opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities. This commitment to inclusivity and excellence led to the park’s recognition as a National Demonstration Site for Inclusion.
