Testimonials
They were fast to send initial quotes and designs, and happy to relook and adjust numerous times until we had a good balance of our grand ideas and our actual budget! They enabled us to get an amazing result, incorporating some of our existing playground, getting our parent community together to be part of the install and the children to help create their own playground. It was wonderful to see everyone come together and help create this playground. The kids love it.

The Xtreme 557 fitness playground is an absolute hit with our senior students! They are all over it during break time and play a chase game as well as the usual swinging, climbing and monkeying around. Playground Centre has been very supportive throughout the process, from the first visit to introduce their products through to fundraising suggestions, and the formal paperwork including engineering specifications. We have appreciated working with them to modernise our play area for the senior students, and are thrilled with the playground.
