Playground Equipment Installation

What This Service Involves

Washington City Services installs manufactured playground structures for parks, schools, and community sites in accordance with CPSC Handbook 325 guidance and the ASTM F1487 standard. We set footings, assemble components to manufacturer specifications, and verify use zones, spacing, and fall heights before the equipment opens to the public. A Certified Playground Safety Inspector reviews the completed installation and documents compliance for your risk-management file. Coordination with surfacing and border installation ensures the whole play area meets accessibility and impact-attenuation requirements at turnover.
