Playground People

Not a very good look for your company when a plastic bottle flys out of your truck barely missing my car. 3.40pm Botany road 3/4/18

We now have four playgrounds built by the Playground People, over the past 10 years. The equipment is of excellent quality and has wonderful longevity. We would not use another manufacturer here at ACG Sunderland.

Provided multiple options and worked to design the playground that was just right for our school. Very flexible and a lovely team to work with. Our new playground is FABULOUS!

Outstanding service from start to finish. The team from Playground People worked with a group of 5-10 year olds to design the equipment and even was even able to match our school colours. Quick, friendly service from the start when they were taking the old playground right through to installing the new one. I will be in touch when it's time to update the junior school playground.

We used the Playground People for a new playground at Waterlea School in Auckland. We found them to be personal, professional and great value. We really appreciated the way they listened to what we were after and thought carefully about how best to utilise our space and meet our requirements. They adapted plans along the way when we created additional space and everything was done in a timely manner, and with excellent communication. We are thrilled with how our new playground turned out and, most of all, the kids love it! Huge thanks to the Playground People team.

From outset to completion, Playground People worked professionally and expertly alongside us to bring our vision for a new play area to fruition. We were very impressed with the range of options available, the quality of their products, their knowledge, and willingness to keep altering draft plan after draft plan until we knew the final one was going to meet our criteria of creating a versatile, challenging and engaging primary school playground for all ages to use and enjoy for many years to come.All aspects of the project were managed proactively, empathetically and successfully by Mark Salmon of Playground People. Thorough planning, onsite visits, regular communication, a well managed installation process, and an excellent understanding of what our aims were for this project have resulted in a new play area that our school community is very impressed with and proud of. We never once regretted selecting Playground People as our preferred company to work with, and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them.

Avalon Park opened on a wet spring day that couldn’t dampen Lower Hutt’s kids enthusiasm for trying out the latest and greatest that Playground People has on offer, as kids swamped the playground; it became apparent that the equipment and environment hit the mark. The opening of revamped play space brought to close a two year involvement for Playground People but a four year process for the Hutt City Council. A six million dollar development that included almost one million dollars’ worth of play equipment, Avalon Park is an excellent example of a supplier, designer and client working together to achieve a remarkable outcome.Playground Peoples full array of imported and New Zealand made equipment was sorted though and scrutinised to find unique and suitable features to blend into the extensive landscaping to create an accessible, adventurous, challenging and fun play environment. A substantial custom bespoke feature was created to span across the play space and link the different sections together. The outcome has been described as outstanding and the best play space in New Zealand.Despite being located in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Auckland and even Europe the different partners worked together to deliver and outstanding play space; visit Avalon Park and judge for yourself…

Playground People have just installed our fabulous purpose built community playground at Weber. We found them fantastic to deal with, great customer service, nothing was a problem! They listened to our ideas and requests and really took these on board when designing the playground for these country kids. They worked in with us in every respect and we would confidently recommend them to others.

Playground People installed a playground at our kura in 2006 - it's still well used by the students! Recently, they installed some Freechimes - they too are well used by the students and very popular. Playground People are great to deal with. I will be giving them repeat business as soon as I can fund more outdoor musical instruments.Paul RoyalTumuakiTe Kura Kaupapa Maori o Bernard Fergusson

The children instantly gravitated towards the chimes and immediately started to experiment and play with the equipment. From junior school to senior school all ages are drawn towards them, and sometimes, teachers will also give them a go.
