We Speak Playground

We’re always looking for new and exciting ways to help you improve your playground project. That’s why we’re so excited to announce two new additions to the May Recreation lineup: Mini City and Miracle Museum.

Both of these product lines are designed to allow little ones to inspire, engage, and interact in a safe and meaningful way. They feature bright colors, durable construction and tons of interactive features to make your school, church, or neighborhood playground really stand out.

The pandemic has thrown a wrench into nearly everyone's plans, and it doesn't help that Texas has not seen the decline in cases that we were hoping for after reopening. The threats have caused nearly every industry to rethink plans, including several school districts that have already come out with potential schedules for the 2020 - 2021 year. We'll look at how this could have an impact on the construction schedule of recreation structures and what everyone can do to minimize the disruption. 

Adding a fantastic play structure to your Texas church, school or park is easy thanks to our wonderful May Recreation team. However, one of the biggest hurdles most of our clients have to overcome is funding. Thankfully, there are many options out there. Here are five amazing resources for finding funding for your playground project.

May Recreation recently had the privilege of working with Johnson Development on the new Jordan Ranch master-planned community in Fulshear, Texas. The custom playground design we helped plan and build for the community is a mix of some of our favorite components and structures, offering a wide range of activities in which children can indulge.

Playgrounds have been around for a while now. History has it that the first playground was made somewhere around the 1850s in England. Time went by, and there was no change in them. Visit any playground today, and you’re most likely to find a teeter-totter, climbers or a slide that were trendy back in the day when you were still a kid. There may seem to be no change, but you’ll be surprised at just how much these fun spots have transformed over the past few years.

The City of Deer Park needed help designing and building Cottonwood Park, in the neighborhood of Cottonwood Estates, so they enlisted May Recreation to get the job done.

Budget is usually the main concern when it comes to purchasing (or upgrading) a playground. If you’re spending the time, money and effort to install or update a playground, you want to make sure you buy quality equipment and get the job done right.

When you need a new playground, but your budget doesn’t allow for it, don’t give up! Here are several options to help you get the playground funding you need:

When budgeting for a new playground there are many factors to consider. There's the obvious cost of equipment, but many people overlook other critical factors such as the cost of installation, ground surfacing or other amenities such as benches, picnic tables, drinking fountains and trash receptacles.
