When choosing commercial outdoor playground equipment for parks and schools, evaluating where the equipment is made is key to ensure you're investing in high-quality, safe products. Commercial playground equipment made in the USA meets strict ASTM and CPSC safety guidelines, uses high quality materials, and supports the economy by creating local jobs. This guide will help decision makers confidently choose USA made equipment when considering different playground companies.

High-Quality & Customization

Safety is just one of our top priorities at Zoom Recreation. When our team designs commercial park equipment for our customers, we want to ensure we are creating finished projects that are long-lasting and durable. To achieve this, we use trust- worthy materials like galvanized steel, made out of 95% recyclable materials. 

Our manufacturer and partner, Superior Recreation, has ISO 9001 and PCI 4000 certifications.

ISO 9100 is recognized globally as the standard for quality management. It allows us to provide consistent, high quality across all products.

Our powder coating manufacturing techniques are extensive and thorough. The interior and exterior of our galvanized steel material undergoes a Triple Flo coat process that has passed an audit program, ensuring our procedures and quality fly above typical quality standards. A good powdercoating process is vital to longevity of your play structure. We are proud to boast we have an industry leading 5 year powdercoat warranty. We always recommend when evaluating vendors to confirm the powder coat warranty period is apples-to-apples. 

Domestic professional playground equipment can be custom made to fit your needs and unique play space dimensions. Our project managers can create custom designs for different needs, from cohesive themed playground projects, to projects that require meticulous planning due to smaller footprints. From initial planning to installation, they manage every aspect of the project.

Prioritizing Safety Standards 

Safety is of the utmost importance for commercial play equipment for schools and parks. Domestic equipment is required to meet standards set forth by organizations like IPEMA, ASTM, and CPSC. As an IPEMA member, our commercial playgrounds are tested and validated by professionals, ensuring the equipment meets necessary ASTM international standards.

Safety standards can vary from city to city. As Certified Playground Inspectors (CPSI), our project managers have been trained to design playgrounds that meet local building safety standards. Our in-house CAD designer will create engineered renderings and drawings to ensure safety concerns like clearance heights and use zones are all met. Aside from the quality and safety of the product itself, USA made products also boost the health of the local community in a couple different ways.

Boosting the Local Economy 

When you choose USA made play equipment, you support local citizens, invest in economic health, and foster the growth and connection of your local community. Superior Recreation’s half a million square foot manufacturing facility is located in Alabama and employs over 400 local residents. In addition, our California and Arizona project managers are not just working in your communities, but are living and playing there too. 

Eco-friendly Commercial Playsets

USA made equipment prioritizes using eco-friendly playground materials and sustainable practices that reduce environmental footprints. Recycled playground equipment is made from reclaimed post-consumer plastic products. Our posts and decks are made from 100% recycled materials, while the other elements of our play equipment are made from about 95% recycled materials. We have faster delivery times and more environmentally friendly shipping procedures because our product does not need to be imported from overseas.
