Playgrounds for parks & public spaces
At KOMPAN, we're dedicated to transforming parks into vibrant community engagement and joy hubs. Whether you need a new playground or refurbishing your old one, we are ready to help you. With over 50 years of experience, KOMPAN offers high-quality park playground equipment and amenities like playground shading that makes your park or public space a meeting point for the community.
We support your playground dreams from start to finish, and our playground experts are ready to assist you with advice on playground design and playground size selection.
Below, you can be inspired by some of our playgrounds built for communities worldwide. Some of them are inclusive playground designs; some are custom playground structures. And some are more classic playgrounds or 'pocket parks' with slides and swings.
Outdoor gym equipment for parks
An outdoor fitness site with the right type of equipment offers a free workout space for your community. It's a place to socialise and have fun. Paired with a playground, parents can workout while their children play on the playground.

Ramsden Park, Toronto, Canada
The landscape architect behind the playground in Ramsden Park, Toronto, had a vision: to create something new and exciting whist incorporating the city’s heritage. The new playground uses yellow colours and themes from Toronto’s history of brick, and has maintained several of the timeless play items from their old KOMPAN playground, like the iconic Crazy Hen. After years of playful enjoyment in its former location, the first of the revolutionary springers is still in great shape and has become part of the new playground.
