COMMUNITY BUILD
Establishing a community built playground project can not only save money, but can also prove to be very rewarding. Little Tikes Commercial can assist in a community built project by providing a factory trained / certified playground installer to supervise community volunteered labor for the playground installation.
Our factory installer will:
- Provide the safety training before the jobs starts
- Organize teams to efficiently assemble the equipment
- Give overall guidance while equipment is being installed
- Provide the tools (shovels/wrenches/post drilling)
Your community provides the water, labor, and pride!
What are the benefits of a community built playground?
- More playground for your money
- Saves up to 30% of total cost
- Builds strong relationships with civic groups and neighbors
- Creates a sense of community pride and ownership
Things you need to consider when planning a community built project?
