Experienced Playground Moving Company
When schools expand their building, add a bus loop, or other large builds, the new projects will often take over the playground site. Instead of tossing the equipment and buying a new playground for the new site, we can relocate the playground equipment without purchasing all new parts.
Moving playground equipment from one location to another is not a common service offered in the industry. As a playground moving company, we believe that allowing school districts to reuse their existing equipment not only saves them money, it also preserves the community’s attachment to the playground. And it offers schools a sustainable option.
Cost-Friendly Option for Moving Playground Equipment
Our playground relocation services cost 50% to 60% of a new playground! When working with playground vendors, they often encourage you to discard existing equipment in hopes you purchase new products. As a service-based playground company, we partner with schools, architects, and engineers to determine how to reuse the playground equipment and ultimately save money.

Our Playground Relocation Process
1. Playground assessment
Evaluate the existing playground equipment to determine which equipment should be relocated, what needs to be repaired, or if some equipment is better replaced.
2. Plan the relocation project
Our playground experts will plan the new playground using the reused equipment and sourcing new parts. For school districts with multiple playgrounds, we maintain equity across your schools.
3. Disassemble and move the equipment
Our team will carefully disassemble the existing playground, leaving the site ready for construction, and move the playground equipment to the new site. If needed, we will store the equipment.
4. Install the playground
We assemble and install the new playground using the reused and new equipment, parts, and surfacing while improving the safety and appearance standards of the original playground.
5. Follow up inspection
After the installation, we will conduct a check-up to ensure the playground meets expectations and your school has a maintenance plan in place.
The Environmentally-Friendly Option
Previously, school districts were cornered – you had no other choice but to throw out playground equipment when a building expansion conflicted with the existing site. Our playground relocation services give school districts the environmentally-friendly option they want. As a playground moving company for almost 15 years, we have reused and moved countless playground equipment for a sustainable alternative that saves money.
Playground Relocation FAQs
Is it cost-effective to relocate my playground?
Yes! On average, a playground relocation costs 50% to 60% of a new playground.
When should I contact you if we need to relocate our playground equipment?
Our team will manage your playground relocation from start to finish, so it is best to contact us as soon as you think the project will require moving a playground. We also help you determine if you should or shouldn’t consider relocating your playground based on the remaining lifespan of your equipment.
Will you install a playground that has already been removed?
Following our process, we blueprint your playground before removing it to understand its current structure and condition to streamline the installation process. If we cannot perform the initial assessment, the reassembly process is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, causing the price to increase. For turnkey and cost-friendly playground relocation services, we recommend working with our team from the beginning.
Can you make my playground look newer during the relocation process?
In conjunction with relocating your playground, we repair the playground equipment and surfacing to look new when installed. This includes a fresh coat of paint or repairing worn equipment, if desired.
