5 Star Review
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

"I’m always so afraid of dealing with contractors, especially those who are so used to dealing with big projects. Well...it turned out it wasn’t the case with Community Playgrounds Inc. Our HOA had a very small playground area, which was totally outdated and out of any safety compliance. We called Curt at Community Playgrounds. Not only he was prompt and responsive, he took the time to personally inspect our existing structure before providing us his recommendations. This made us felt like he really cares and knows his stuff...well...just a couple of months later, here we go we have our new playground which is not only safe but also modern and fun to play with. It certainly helps increase the value of the property value of our entire HOA. Way to go, Curt and Community Playgrounds Inc." Small playground owner Dr. Lau

Thank you Dr. Lau - we enjoy working for playground owners. Doesn't matter how small or large their playground is. What's important to us is the play equipment is safe and that we've brought you peace of mind.

We have the best playground equipment installation crews! Thank you, team!

Look at Community Playground's most recent installation at Oasis Park in Elk Grove, CA.

This was such a fun install for our playground equipment installation crew. It's not every day you get to play on a Camel and build a 14-foot palm tree!

"Oasis Community Park will be built on 20 acres and will feature a large picnic area with lots of shade and ping pong tables, age-appropriate playgrounds for 2-5 and 5-12-year-olds with desert-themed oasis play elements, as well as a water play area for cooling down on those hot summer days. For those seeking more sporty elements, Oasis Community Park will also feature beautiful grassy multi-purpose fields, pickleball and tennis courts, and basketball courts. If you’re interested in taking a stroll, D.G. trails wind throughout the park with several adult fitness stations. There is also a preschool with its own garden and play area for the younger school-goers. And for those furry family members, a new dog park with separate areas for both large and small dogs awaits!"
