From Kitchen Table to Community Transformation

Atlantic Pacific Playgrounds began around our kitchen table, where three generations of educators discussed how playgrounds could better serve children’s development. That conversation became our mission: creating play spaces that truly understand how children learn and grow.

Our family brings together unique perspectives that strengthen every project:

  • Former principals who understand educational environments and safety requirements
  • Teachers who know how children actually use playground equipment
  • Special education advocates ensuring every child can participate
  • Military service members bringing discipline and commitment to excellence
  • Business professionals managing operations with family accountability
  • Next generation innovators respecting tradition while embracing new possibilities


When you partner with our family, you work directly with owners who take personal responsibility for your success. Three generations of wisdom guide every decision, ensuring playgrounds that serve communities for generations.

Our family story isn’t just our history—it’s your advantage. Every project benefits from decades of combined experience, educational expertise, and unwavering commitment to community impact.

Schools choose us because we speak education fluently. Parks appreciate how our educational approach creates more engaging community spaces. Every client benefits from our classroom experience.

Educational DNA Driving Every Decision

Educational expertise runs through our company DNA. From former principals to current parents, every team member contributes insights that create developmentally superior playgrounds.

Classroom-Tested Insights

Our educational leaders have supervised thousands of recess periods, observing how children actually play versus how adults think they play. This real-world experience shapes every design decision.

Curriculum Integration Expertise

Former teachers on our team create natural connections between playground equipment and learning objectives. We see outdoor spaces as extensions of classrooms, not separate from education.

Special Needs Understanding

With special education expertise throughout our family, inclusive design isn’t an afterthought—it’s fundamental. Every child deserves to play, learn, and belong.

Administrative Perspective

Former principals bring unique insights into budget processes, safety requirements, and stakeholder management. We understand the complex decisions administrators face because we’ve made them.

Family Values Creating Exceptional Outcomes

The intersection of family ownership and educational expertise creates unique advantages for your project, delivering personal attention with professional excellence.

Decision-Making with Integrity

Family ownership means decisions based on values, not quarterly earnings. Educational background ensures those decisions prioritize child development over profit margins. This combination creates playgrounds that truly serve communities.

Long-Term Thinking

We’re building a legacy for our children to inherit, not preparing for acquisition. This generational perspective, combined with educational understanding of child development stages, ensures playgrounds that grow with communities.

Personal Investment

Every project carries our family name and reputation. Our educational credentials add professional accountability to personal pride. You’re not just another contract—you’re a community we’re committed to serving.

Authentic Relationships

Family businesses build different relationships. Add educational common ground, and connections deepen further. Many clients become friends, their children playing on equipment we’ve maintained for decades.

Clients consistently tell us what sets us apart: the combination of personal care and professional expertise. When family dedication meets educational excellence, exceptional playgrounds result.
