Custom Playground & Site Design
Most of our clients aren't professional project managers — they're teachers, board members, and city staff with a dozen other responsibilities. We handle the design, the paperwork, and the coordination, so you don't need construction experience to get this right.
Built for People Who've Never Done This Before
Once you sign off, we coordinate installation from start to finish and stay available for questions, part requests, or troubleshooting long after the project wraps.
You Approve, We Build It
For larger projects, we'll set up an on-site visit to get a feel for your space. From there, we design your playground, shelter, or shade structure and put together a full quote.
Our team builds a custom proposal
Call or email us and tell us what you're picturing: a brand-new playground, a shelter, or just a part you need help tracking down. We'll set up a time to talk it through.
How it Works
Reach out with what you need
We stay reachable well after installation, for parts, questions, or troubleshooting, not just through the sale.
In-house, trustworthy installation means far fewer surprises once your equipment actually shows up on-site.
We listen to what your school, board, or community actually wants before we design a single thing.
Decades of combined experience mean we've solved almost every playground problem before — safety, ADA compliance, tight budgets, and more.
One rep manages your project from first design to final installation, so you're not chasing down five different vendors.

From the initial sale to follow up questions and service their staff Staff from Boland Recreation kept in touch with our key people every step of the way, from initial planning stages through the last tightening of a bolt on the equipment. They were there to answer any questions we
had, and the level of support and information we were provided along the way helped make our preparations and the installation go very smoothly. I just cannot say enough about the quality of
people Boland Recreation has employed!
These are incredible people to work with when planning to turn a vision for a playground into a reality!
Charities of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois
Ronald McDonald House
Boland Recreation made that vision a reality. They were patient throughout our process, listened to our feedback, and worked closely with us to ensure we were happy with every detail of the design. The result is a beautiful, high-quality playground that brings joy to the children and families we serve.
Creating a welcoming and engaging space for our families was incredibly important to us.
Fennimore Community School District
Throughout both projects, Boland Recreation designed playground layouts that effectively serve our students in grades 4K–5. Their team thoughtfully incorporated equipment and accessible features to accommodate students with mobility challenges, ensuring that all children have opportunities to play, learn, and interact with their peers. Their commitment to inclusive design has helped create playground environments where every student feels welcomed, engaged, and valued.
Fennimore Community Schools has successfully completed two elementary playground projects in partnership with Boland Recreation.
Keota Community School District
Our experience working with Boland Recreation was outstanding from start to finish. Jordan's customer service was exceptional throughout the entire process. One aspect we especially appreciated was Boland Recreation's ability to customize the playground equipment to match our school colors. The quality of the equipment, attention to detail, and professionalism of the entire team exceeded our expectations, and the new playground has quickly become a point of pride for Keota Schools.
We would highly recommend Boland Recreation to any school or community looking to create a high-quality recreational space.
