& ADVENTURE
For junior school children play is an imaginative adventure that develops their creativity, social interaction and coordination.
For senior school children play is a chance to grow and develop their physical abilities including their strength, agility and overall fitness.
Children's daily activities should include movements that challenge skill and coordination but also bones, joints and muscles safely which in turn improves strength, flexibility and strength.
Your local playground is the heart of your community. Children develop their confidence, imagination and agility on Park Supplies & Playgrounds play equipment.

Building A New Playground?
For children play is an imaginative adventure that develops their creativity, social interaction and coordination.
HOW MUCH DOES A PLAYGROUND COST?
The first question we get asked when someone starts on their journey of building their new dream playground is how much is the playground really going to cost?
Well, the answer isn’t quite that simple. There are many factors involved that could affect the overall cost which may include:
• Design of the area – Access Availability and Condition.
• Site Preparation – Demolition, Topsoil Removal, Levelling and Compacting.
• Playground Equipment – Manufacture, Supply and Install.
• Safety Surfacing – Which surface is best suited to your needs?
• Landscaping and development.
• Project Management.
luckily for you we are experts at helping you get what you need for a price you can afford. We can meet with you and your students and help you decide what items and activities will best suit and stimulate play. Then we can custom design a play area that fits into your school and incorporates your choices and give you options to meet your available budget.

customer testimonials
“I really enjoyed looking through all the case studies on
the Park Supplies & Playgrounds website. It was great to
see how other school’s playground journeys had turned
out and it gave me a sense of trust that others had such
sucessful outcomes using the company. I could also see
that there was an extensive variety of exciting playground
equipment and designs available so there were options
aplenty for us”
Fiona Mackley - Principal
Alexandra Primary School
“When you haven’t done a playground before,
you dont really know what to expect froma cost and
process perspective. Park Supplies & Playgrounds were
very clear and helpful from the outset” tells Wendy. She
goes on to say, “For us the rason we chose them was the
people; Jen was great, and her communication was on point
straight off the bat! We initially dealt with her until Melissa
(Mel) Cowie, Playground Consultant took over our project
and she was equally as responsive and enthusiastic.”
Wendy Kitto - Principal
East Gore School
“The children had an absolute blast and found
the factory tour interesting and informative. We really
liked that Park Supplies & Playgrounds equipment is New
Zealand made as we knew the quality would be high and
would be designed specifically for New Zealand conditions,
it’s also great to be able to support local businesses in the
current economic climate too.”
Kogie Naidoo - Principal
Manurewa West Primary School
“If I had to do another playground, I’d go back to them for sure. Honesty and integrity mean a lot to me, and they certainly conduct their business with those values. They are a company of their word, which hasn’t happened a lot in my experience within the COVID environment. The whole project was just such an easy experience that has made a significant impact on the school and community. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.”
Paul Janieson - Principal
Waipawa Primary School
“I was really impressed with how hard working and efficient the Park Supplies & Playgrounds team were.
When the students and faculty came back in November the breakout spaces were completed and have been an absolute hit ever since.”
Janet Pinchen - Principal
Glamorgan School
“We could see that with PlayBlox we could easily pack up and down the equipment when needed and change the configurations to
mix things up for the children. It would also be easy care and simple to maintain with the clipping system. Being able to purchase extra blocks at any time
was also a real drawcard. Our core age demographic changes every year so as they children age up, we could buy blocks suited for them,
it would enable us to cater for specific age groups.”
Alice Henare
Te Kāmaka Mātauranga Kōhanga Reo
"Although covid and the lockdown played havoc on the install, Park Supplies & playgrounds kept us informed every step of the way and really
built a relationship with us. We felt supported throughout the process and found the experience seamless and easy."
Phil Muir - Principal
Northcote Intermediate
“The fitness trail is actually a learning resource,
not just a playground and Mel gave us some really cool
strategies and ideas on how to use it effectively. Mel helped
opened up our thinking and enabled us to see that there’s
so much creative potential with it, it’s not just a paint by
numbers piece of equipment.”
Brad Hill - Deputy Principal
