Most of our calls start the same way: a playground or park that's aged out, isn't safe anymore, or just isn't built for everyone. We sit down, listen to what you're picturing, and design something that brings the space back to life.
With a combined 50 years in this industry, our team knows how to turn a wish list into a plan that actually works for your budget and your site.
We Turn Old Playgrounds Into Community Favorites
Iowa & Wisconsin's Trusted Playground Partner
We started Boland Recreation to give customers who've never done a project like this the same top-quality equipment and service as anyone else. We handle the design, the logistics, and the questions, so you're not figuring it out alone.
Every rep on our team acts as project manager, designer, and point of contact from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. Integrity, quality, and actually listening to what you need come before anything we're trying to sell.
What Drives Us
Our Story & Mission
Working With Us Means One Team With You, Start to Finish.
We lead with integrity, even when it costs us the bid. Customers come back because we follow through, communicate honestly, and treat their project like it's our own.
We stay lean so we can keep pricing fair, and our reps work as a team instead of competing with each other for the sale. That means whoever picks up the phone is looking out for you.
Our values and approach
Boland Recreation has reps across Iowa and Wisconsin, each handling their own projects from first call to final installation. Between us, we've got more than 50 years in this industry and a shared list of values we actually live by.

Have more questions?
Do You Offer Turnkey Installations?
A: Yes. We handle everything from initial design through final installation — playground equipment, shelters, shade structures, and site amenities — so you're not managing multiple vendors or contractors yourself.
That's especially useful if you're a school board, PTA, or parks department without construction or project management on staff. One rep and one timeline means fewer moving pieces to track.
Do You Offer Turnkey Installations?
Standard terms are net 30 days from equipment delivery and net 15 days on installation services. We regularly work with schools, parks and recreation departments, and county conservation boards across Iowa and Wisconsin, and can coordinate invoicing around grant funding or fiscal-year budgets when needed.
What Are Your Payment Terms?
Speak to a sales rep about our current sales flyer. We often have promotions on playground equipment, Poligon shelters, and USA Shade structures across Iowa and Wisconsin, and pricing can be customized to fit your project's budget.
Do You Have Any Sales Going On?
Yes. Our certified playground and park amenities installers work closely with our design team, so you get a trusted install from a company that knows commercial playgrounds, shelters, and shade structures inside and out — whether it's a school playground, a city park, or a new inclusive play space.
Do You Provide Installation Services?
Here are the questions we hear most from schools, parks, and communities getting started on a project.
