About School Playgrounds
Recess that kids and teachers look forward to
School playgrounds see hundreds of kids a day. They need durable equipment, zones for different ages, good sight lines for supervision and surfacing that holds up to constant use.
We help schools and PTAs plan around their space and budget, phase projects over time if needed and install carefully during breaks to minimize disruption.

Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.
Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical playgrounds and yards, not completed Music City Playgrounds projects. Every play area is planned and confirmed with a visit before work begins, and permit, HOA and local requirements depend on your property and location. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
Can you install over summer break?
Yes. We plan schedules around breaks to minimize disruption.
Can a project be phased?
Yes. We design so each phase works on its own and fits the final plan.
Do you help with fundraising materials?
We can provide plans, images and descriptions that help PTAs and boards communicate the project. We do not provide funding.
