Playground Professionals has been the recreation industry's go-to resource since 2001 — and we're just getting started.
Today's Playground magazine, originally launched by Harris Publishing in March 2001, was acquired by Playground Professionals, LLC around 2012 and has been independently published from Ashton, Idaho ever since. Over 25 years and more than a hundred issues, we've grown from a print magazine into a full digital platform — covering the products, people, and ideas shaping the world of play, hosting a professional directory connecting hundreds of industry businesses with the buyers who need them, and delivering news and resources to a community of professionals who take play seriously.
Whether you're a playground manufacturer, a parks director, a landscape architect, or simply someone who believes that great play spaces change lives — this is your website. We exist to inform, connect, and celebrate the professionals who build the places where children and adults come alive.
We don't build playgrounds — we champion the people who do.
