Independent & brand-neutral — we don't sell equipment. We help you buy it right.
About us

We're on the buyer's side. On purpose.

Playground Authority exists because buying a commercial playground is confusing, expensive, and rare — and every other "guide" online is secretly trying to sell you their equipment.

What we do

We help the people who have to buy playgrounds — schools, cities, churches, daycares, HOAs — do it confidently: find the grants that pay for it, understand the real costs, run the purchase correctly, and connect with suppliers worth trusting.

How we stay independent

How we make money

Vetted suppliers pay us a referral fee when we connect them with a real project. That's it. Buyers never pay a cent, and a supplier paying us never changes the advice we give you. If a program or product isn't right for you, we'll say so.
