Custom Playground Design
Shaping the future of play, one vision at a time
Themed playground design
We specialise in transforming your wildest ideas into extraordinary play spaces.
Themed playground equipment brings stories, environments, and imaginative worlds to life. Whether you’re dreaming of a nature‑themed playground, a playful farm themed design or a bold dinosaur or jungle adventure, our team can turn any idea into a fully custom play experience.
Below you can dive into some of the the playground themes we have created and built around the world - but you're never limited to these. If you have a vision, we can build it. Every themed playground is tailored to your space, your community, and the story you want to tell, combining creativity with safe, durable, high‑quality play value.
Whether you're looking to design a custom playground for a community park, a themed play area for a school, or a landmark installation, we tailor each project to meet your specific vision. From initial inspiration and concept development to detailed design and installation, we ensure you get the playground of your dreams.
Why choose a custom playground design?
Your ideas, made real
Explore how other communities have used custom playground equipment to bring their stories to life:
From idea to reality
What you see is what you get
From sketches to installation, so you know exactly what you’re getting long before it becomes real.
Your vision deserves to be realised exactly as you imagined it. That’s why every drawing, sketch, and 3D model is created to match the final result - no surprises, no compromises. Every concept we develop is engineered to be built safely, efficiently, and exactly as shown in your visuals. Your custom playground design transforms step by step into a buildable, real‑world play space to ensure the playground you fall in love with during the design phase is the playground that will stand on your site.
The small details that make a big difference
From Collection to Custom
Not every project needs a big bespoke solution - sometimes small details make the difference. We turn standard products into unique designs, tailored to your story and setting.
Our product backbone, your needs and context
Make play equipment truly yours
Customisation doesn’t always mean complexity - it means making play equipment truly yours.
All of our standard products can be customised to fit your site. Even smaller products like the classic seesaw or springers can be modified to your liking. If you have an aviator theme on your playground, why not replace the bees and flowers on the classic seesaw to planes and helicopters? Customising the small equipment on the playground can really make the theme come together.

Getting started
Custom playground design service
Each project is unique, and your project is supported by the design process that ensures you get the best outcome - visually, functionally, and financially.
A school may want a play sculpture symbolising wisdom and learning. A local community may wish to have its play sculpture tell a story about the community, connecting one generation to the next.
We do this by utilising our unique architectural and engineering experience in collaboration with knowledge from the KOMPAN Play Institute and KOMPAN Fitness Institute. Playgrounds that children and adults want to stay at, come back to - again and again - and talk about as great destinations to visit. Whether you are looking for a customised playground or fitness site, the process looks like this:
Finding the perfect concept
Maybe you already have an idea, or maybe you need a sparring partner. Together we find the perfect concept for the story you want to tell.
Researching the concept
Next, a dedicated design team will study the phenomena in order to find the features that visualise your story the right way.
Sketching design ideas
The first sketches are made and delivered to you in order to test ideas and together find the perfect design for the site.
Building the play sculpture
Our engineers make sure that the static structure is safe and sound. We use the highest quality materials in order to build a landmark that lasts for decades.
