Safety & Compliance
IPEMA certified. ASTM F1292 and F1951 compliant. We don't cut critical-fall-height corners — every install meets the spec your AHJ will hold you to.
For over 30 years, PlayWell has helped schools, cities, churches, daycares, apartment complexes, and municipalities build playgrounds that go beyond just meeting safety requirements — places where kids want to spend their afternoon.
Our CPSI-certified consultants don't just sell equipment. We assess your site, your budget, your community, and your maintenance reality, then put together a playground that fits all four. From inclusive play structures to themed environments to natural-material installations, we work with the manufacturers we believe in — and stand behind every install with a 1-year, 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
Surfacing is the part of the playground you don't notice until it fails. We install it like it matters — because if a kid lands wrong, it does.
IPEMA certified. ASTM F1292 and F1951 compliant. We don't cut critical-fall-height corners — every install meets the spec your AHJ will hold you to.
Color, pattern, themed inlays, accessibility routes — surfacing is where playground personality lives. We design to your site, not to a catalog page.
We spec surfaces built to outlast warranty windows, with maintenance plans your parks crew can actually execute. Less downtime, fewer surprise costs.
ADA-compliant routes, wheelchair-accessible transitions, sensory-friendly color palettes. Surfaces that welcome every child onto the playground — not just to it.
Every surface has tradeoffs. Use this side-by-side to weigh durability, accessibility, cost, and maintenance for your site — then let your Playwell rep help you make the call.
