Planning Your Playground

Creating a playground with Davis Playgrounds and Burke!

Play is central to our lives and a well-designed play environment brings kids and families together outdoors and fosters a sense of community within schools, neighborhoods and churches. From all types of development and physical movement to social and cognitive growth, play is essential for people of all ages and abilities throughout all stages of life. Designing a playspace that will serve your community now and into the future requires careful planning, consideration and, let’s be honest, a whole lot of fun. Contact us to get started!

Site Assessment

A site assessment can be compared to taking measurements before buying a dress or suit – the more accurate, the better fit you will get. When a playspace is meant to serve the community for years to come, an accurate site assessment for an accurate fit is even more important! We will help answer any questions and probably even ask questions that can help you get a play environment that will best serve your community. Learn more here.

Playspace Design

A properly designed play environment creates the social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth that transcends the playspace and helps everyone find the best of themselves through play. We partner with Burke’s talented design team to create a playspace that is certain to be a destination for people to gather, develop, engage and have fun together. You can show off your space with the best 3D designs in the industry from our team to yours. These designs can be shared with donors, community members and children to get everyone excited and raise awareness about the new playspace.

Playground Funding

While we’re designing a play environment for your community, you can relax and spend some time exploring options and programs that can help obtain playground funding. Burke offers a variety of resources and we can assist you with any questions or provide more information on any of these options.
