2020 Buyers Guide

Since 1971, Landscape Structures Inc. has been the leading manufacturer of commercial playground equipment in the world. The employee-owned company designs community and school playgrounds that encourage kids of all ages and abilities to learn persistence, leadership, competition, bravery, support and empathy through play. Landscape Structures pushes the limits—of design, inclusion, play—to help kids realize there is no limit to what they can do today and in the future.

Interestingly, Landscape Structures began its history of innovation even before its doors opened for business. In 1967, Steve King created a revolutionary concept called continuous play for his final thesis project at Iowa State University. With continuous play, kids can move from playground component to playground component without touching the ground. This new type of design saved space while encouraging independent decision-making and interaction among kids, which is an important ingredient in a child's development.

Through the years, Landscape Structures has continued to introduce other pioneering innovations including the first post and clamp-based playsystem known as PlayBooster^®, the first gyroscopic playsystem called Evos^® and HealthBeat^®, the first gym-quality outdoor fitness system. Furthermore, Landscape Structures also has been at the forefront of creating inclusive playground equipment for children of all abilities. In addition to inclusive playground components, Landscape Structures strives to create entire inclusive play environments to welcome children and families of all abilities to play, learn and grow together.

For a better tomorrow, we play today.
