Every school has a recreation area — we build ones that last

Every school has a recreation area, and it has to hold up to hundreds of students a day. Schools come to us for playground equipment, safety surfacing, outdoor gyms, accessories, shades and shelters.

Public schools fund these projects with government money, and private schools usually combine public and private funds. Either way you need a number you can defend and documentation that will pass inspection.

What matters to you

  • CSA Z614 equipment with surfacing matched to fall heights
  • Clear budgets, with the cost drivers spelled out
  • Playgrounds, outdoor gyms, shades and shelters from one supplier

Why schools work with Westplay

Compliance you can document and a budget you can defend

Inspection-ready

Equipment and surfacing specified to CSA Z614, with the documentation your district or inspector will ask for.

Budget clarity

We show what drives the price — site conditions, surfacing type, equipment size, installation scope and timeline — before you commit.

Installed on schedule

We plan installation around the school calendar so the work happens while the grounds are free.

The whole recreation area

Playground equipment, safety surfacing, outdoor gyms, accessories, shades and shelters in one scope.

The straight answer

“Is this CSA-compliant and will it meet accessibility requirements?”

A school playground has to pass inspection and reduce liability, not just look good on the render. We specify and install to CSA Z614, keep accessibility and inclusive design in the plan from the start, and hand over the documentation you need for approvals and for the funder paying for it.

Questions?

Do all products meet CSA standards?

Yes. Equipment and surfacing are specified and installed to CSA Z614, and we supply the documentation your inspection needs.

What affects the price of a school playground?

Mainly site conditions, the surfacing type you choose, the size of the equipment, the installation scope and the timeline. We break those out so nothing appears late in the process.

Can we phase the project across budget years?

Yes. We can plan the recreation area as a whole and quote it in stages so the equipment, surfacing and shade can land in different funding cycles.

When can the work happen?

We schedule installation around your school calendar, most often over a break, and confirm the dates before the order is placed.

Can we see previous school projects?

Absolutely. We can share school installations across Western Canada so you can see the work firsthand.
