Recycled-Content RSP™ with 100 Year Warranty

Playground equipment by Play Mart is made from RSP™ (Recycled Structural Plastic™) which is Play Mart’s proprietary plastic lumber (made from 100% recycled plastics) manufactured on our in-house extrusion lines. Creating our own lumber is the best way to guarantee the high quality product we demand - we use only the purest (recycled) HDPE inputs.  Combined with strengtheners and UV stabilizers, the plastic lumber possesses unusually high tensile and compressive strengths. We guarantee RSP™ with a 100 year warranty! Watch a video of our recycling process and lumber extrusion!

SureStep™ Decks

No more worries about slipping on the playground!  We have developed innovative SureStep™ slip-resistant ridged deck-board.  Play Mart is the only recycled plastic playground equipment manufacturer to offer this safety feature.  Children can walk and run confidently even after early morning dew and following a rainy afternoon.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel hardware, welds and attachments are standard on all equipment - features unmatched in the playground equipment industry. 100% stainless steel components are available, virtually eliminating rust and ensuring that your play equipment is practically maintenance free. We have chosen metal components and materials that will hold up in all weather and save our customers the hassle of replacing rusty parts.

SureGrip™ Metal Components

On our playground equipment, in addition to slip-resistant decks, we offer slip-resistant metal climbers. We powder-coat our climbers and sliders with a uniquely strong and textured surface to increase friction and reduce falls on playground equipment.

Our Mission

To maintain a high level of integrity, dependability and quality while producing a world class product at affordable prices to the consumer. To provide children the opportunity of experiencing a safe, environmentally friendly, and creative place in which to play and grow.
