Building a playground with Ameco Playgrounds
Why build a playground?
A well-designed playground is more than a collection of equipment. It enhances the visitor experience, increases length of stay, and boosts repeat visits from families. You create a safe, educational environment that stimulates motor, social, and cognitive development – while also being a profitable investment. In addition to entrance fees, you can generate extra revenue through birthday parties, food & beverage services, events, and merchandising. With proper flow, clear sightlines, and age-specific zones, capacity increases without compromising safety.
The benefits of building a playground with Ameco Playgrounds
Fully customized
We design your playground tailored to your space, target audience, and brand identity. From theming to material choice: every project is unique and optimized for your location in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, or anywhere else in Europe.
Strict planning and on-time delivery
Time is crucial. We carefully plan production and installation and coordinate with other contractors, ensuring your playground is ready on schedule.
Safety first
We build in accordance with the applicable European requirements for play environments (including EN 1176/1177 series) and keep up with regulatory changes. You get a safe installation with clear documentation.
Low-maintenance and durable
Robust structures, wear-resistant materials, and replaceable components keep costs low and uptime high. We provide clear maintenance and inspection guidelines.
After-installation service
Even after opening, we remain at your service: spare parts, repairs, and professional ball pit cleaning. Expansions or redesigns can be done step by step.
This is how we build your indoor playground:
1) Analysis & concept
We start with goals (capacity, age groups, commercial flow), available space, and building requirements. We examine sightlines for parents, entry and exit points, logistics, and possible food & beverage integration.
2) Design & theming
We create a 2D/3D design with play variety (climbing, sliding, balancing, sensory play), inclusion, and easy maintenance. Theming enhances brand experience and wayfinding.
3) Production & scheduling
After approval, we schedule production, quality control, and logistics. We align the construction timeline with other contractors (flooring, lighting, HVAC, etc.).
4) Installation & (external) inspection
Our installers set up and anchor the structures according to regulations. If required, we arrange an external inspection before opening.
5) Handover, training & aftercare
You receive a maintenance and inspection guide, a short training for daily management, and a service line for spare parts and repairs.
Safety, maintenance and standards
Safety is our top priority. We design with calculated fall heights and zones, shock-absorbing floors where needed, and safe finishes. Our structures are built for heavy use and include clear inspection points. We follow the relevant European standards (such as EN 1176 and EN 1177) and sector updates to ensure your playground remains compliant and future-proof.
- Safety: logical routing, clear sightlines, and age-specific zones.
- Quality: durable materials, robust connections, modular maintenance.
- Maintenance: easy cleaning, parts easy to replace; we also offer periodic cleaning (e.g. ball pits).
