Discover how rigorous playground standards ensure the safety and well-being of children, while promoting sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
Playgrounds have long been cherished spaces where children and families gather. Ensuring these spaces are safer is paramount to fostering an environment where children can play freely and parents can have peace of mind. Playground safety standards are critical in reducing the risk of injuries while promoting a fun and engaging atmosphere.
Adhering to these standards means that every element, from the height of the slides to the material of the swing seats, is designed with children's safety in mind. These regulations are not just recommendations but essential guidelines that safeguard the well-being of our youngest community members.
At Superior Playgrounds, we take safety very seriously. As an American-made company, it’s our mission to create vibrant, safer, and sustainable play spaces that enhance the well-being of children and communities across the nation. We meet or exceed the standards set forth by reputable organizations like IPEMA, ASTM International, and CPSC.
Additionally, we follow strict in-house standards and guidelines. Combined, this ensures our American-made play equipment meets stringent criteria for durability, structural integrity, and child safety. Our commitment to safety means that every piece of equipment is built to protect and support the children who use it.
From concept to creation, our team takes a quality-first approach. Superior craftsmanship sets our American-made playgrounds apart. Our flagship playground line is handcrafted by our team of over 400 employees in a half-million square foot facility in Ft. Payne, Alabama.
Our facility is ISO 9001 certified, which means that we have implemented a quality management system that allows us to provide consistent quality – no matter what we're making for you. Additionally, our facility is PCI 4000 certified, indicating that our powder coating manufacturing techniques have passed an extensive audit program, ensuring every product meets our high standards.
But it’s not just about safety – it’s about protecting the environment, too. As a domestic manufacturer, we prioritize eco-friendly practices, using recycled materials and reducing carbon emissions. Our manufacturing facility is ISO 14001 certified, which means we have proactively taken steps to ensure we are environmentally conscious.
By focusing on sustainability, we ensure that our playgrounds are not only safer but also contribute to a healthier planet. This commitment to eco-friendly practices helps reduce our environmental footprint while providing children with play spaces that are good for both them and the earth.
Perhaps the most important thing we do is create outdoor spaces where children, families, and communities can gather to develop essential life skills, engage in physical activity, and form friendships. Playgrounds are more than just play spaces; they are vital community hubs that support social and physical development.
At Superior Playgrounds, we understand the role these spaces play in building strong, healthy communities. Our playgrounds are designed to encourage children to explore, imagine, and play together, fostering a sense of community and cooperation that benefits everyone involved.
