General Recreation, Inc. Local Agent for Landscape Structures Playground Equipment
General Recreation provides guidance throughout the entire process. With our vast experience, we will provide direction through the assembly and erection of your new playground equipment. Our knowledgeable team will work with you to create a working plan that will address each portion of the project.
Site layout assistance of the post holes is provided by General Recreation. We take control of this critical stage so that everything is placed properly and safety zones are maintained.
General Recreation will assure that your community build playground meets all current ASTM standards and CPSC guidelines upon completion. We will inspect the installation as it is installed and will return after all components are completed to inspect the facility to be sure that all safety requirements are met and that the installation meets the manufacturers’ requirements.
General Recreation is available for inspection of the play area whenever there are concerns or issues. There is no charge for this service.
If you would prefer that some aspects of the construction be provided by a professional installer, those services are available for an additional charge.
Our team will supervise the entire process of the build and will only leave the job when the playground equipment has been completely assembled and the concrete has been poured. There may be other aspects of the build, such as spreading or raking mulch, which do not require our direct supervision. Visit or main website to learn more about General Recreation, Inc.

Typical Hardware Packages
When you purchase a Landscape Structures playground, they will provide a Community Build Playground Package. The package which is shipped with the play equipment includes:
1. Extra tool bits and wrenches used to connect the tamper resistant hardware 2. Hardware belts (similar to nail pouches) for handy hardware when you need it 3. Bolt measuring rules (so volunteers can identify different sized hardware) 4. Extra sets of installation instructions (these can be sent ahead of the play equipment delivery) 5. A spool of red ribbon for use at your grand opening event 6. A banner to hang during the build that welcomes the volunteers 7. A quantity of ratchet attachment tools, so that volunteers may insert them onto their own 3/8" ratchets and can fasten the tamper proof hardware 8. Easily identifiable hardware bags. Separate bags, with a diagram of the component to be assembled, are provided for each play component. In most cases all of the hardware for each component is already sorted and ready for you to assemble. This reduces or eliminates the sorting of hardware on site and confusion about what hardware to install _
Landscape Structures, Inc. - Other Things to Consider
Landscape Structures carries 10 million dollar product liability insurance and the facility owner may be listed as a certificate holder. This is important for clients that are concerned about the risk associated with building public play spaces. Also, Landscape Structures has an optional low cost medical insurance program, available from a third party insurer, for the workers on-site during the build.
All Landscape Structures playground equipment will meet current safety standards and guidelines. LSI equipment is certified by IPEMA, which provides independent 3rd party testing to assure that the equipment is designed according to current safety standards. This fact may reduce insurance costs for the facility owner.
The skills required by volunteers to build a Landscape Structures playground are minimal. Moms and Dads, teenagers and many other inexperienced laborers have built hundreds of Landscape Structures Community Build playgrounds under the supervision of General Recreation. There is no field cutting required and minimal measuring is required by volunteers. Just follow the step by step instructions, diagrams and the instruction of your on-site supervisors.
Landscape Structures will provide a complete maintenance kit with each play system. Within the kit are inspection forms and other tools to develop a regular maintenance routine for your Landscape Structures playground. Maintenance is one of the most important factors in a long equipment life and positive experience for all users.
The complete delivery of playground equipment will arrive all together, palletized, well packaged and shrink wrapped....ready for unwrapping and installation.
All of the hardware is stainless steel and all materials are proven to withstand the elements. The hardware is presorted into separate play component bags with diagrams of the components on the bags, making them easily identifiable for volunteers.
