OVERVIEW —
Indoor soft contained playgrounds have proven to be a safe environment for children by providing them with a space where they can freely play, eliminating the risk of falls from raised heights, as well as potential injuries from protrusions and sharp edges.
SAFETY
Safety is of critical importance and always a top priority in our designs. It is something that K PLAY embraces as part of promoting safe play. We adhere to all the strictest guidelines established by industry organizations such as ASTM, CSA and CPSC, as well as the most strict European regulations.
MAXIMIZING PLAY EXPERIENCE
K PLAY has incorporated some unique play elements that are specifically designed to offer the greatest amount of diversity in the play experience. A good design should offer equal opportunity for gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, pretend play, sensory enhancement and social play opportunities.
MAXIMIZING VISIBILITY
Visibility is critical to your number one customer, Parents. Good, visible design dictates a smooth combination of great open play opportunity with just enough enclosed plastic to be fun yet still highly visible from all viewing angles.
ACCESIBILITY & ADA
You must have the ability to accompany, access, respond and remove a child from the apparatus. Your client must be able to get to every point within the equipment themselves or with very little assistance. This builds confidence. K PLAY has considered these elements. All systems K PLAY designs and manufactures meet all latest A.D.A regulations and Standards.
LEADING INDUSTRY WARRANTY
Our soft-contained playground systems are designed and configured to the highest quality standards. They are constructed with only the best quality materials to ensure safety of the users and for minimal maintenance. If properly used, monitored and well maintained, our equipment will provide years of enjoyment for your youngest customers as well as serve as a positive attraction for their parents.
K PLAY PROUDLY PROVIDES: Limited 5 Year Warranty on structural integrity of play system (steel and clamp parts) Limited 2 Year Warranty on slides (plastic and fiberglass), plastic capsules, and plastic play tunnels. Limited 1 Year Warranty on nylon netting, webbing, PVC-coated items (including flooring) and all other items, including air-filled products. The Warranty is valid only if the structure and play equipment have been installed by K PLAY SYSTEMS, have been subjected to normal use for the purpose for which the goods were designed; have not been subject to vandalism, misuse, neglect, or accident; have not been subjected to addition or substitution of parts; and have not been modified, altered, or repaired by persons other than K PLAY.
MATERIALS & IMPORTANCE OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT QUALITY
It goes without saying that children’s safety should be the top priority in any playground. And having high quality equipment utilizing the highest quality materials is the first important step towards ensuring safety. In the long run, having high quality indoor playground equipment also helps to greatly reduce maintenance costs and ensure long-term profitability. Low quality equipment, on the other hand, will inevitably require frequent servicing which can in turn, cause an otherwise profitable business to lose money. Having low quality products can lead to safety issues which can cause valued playground visitors to lose trust in the playground facility. At first glance, all indoor playgrounds may look quite similar but look closer and you will discover very significant differences in quality among them. What actual materials are being utilized?
Low Maintenance & Durable
K PLAY's emphasis for the main play structure is in utilizing highly durable, low maintenance plastics, high-quality, vandal-resistant Tuff Skin post padding and netting, and durable soft foam decking with industrial 18 oz true vinyl. The resulting design offers easy maintenance and upkeep, while maximizing play value for your guests.

K PLAY is an American company registered in Nevada with manufacturing facilities located in Alicante, Spain.
We proudly work together with select, reliable and trusted affiliate component manufacturers here in the USA and Canada. We very deliberately do NOT import playground equipment or components from China (like several of our notable USA competitors - See “QUALITY & SAFETY FIRST” Section below)
Our team of designers, production staff, consultants and installers have MANY decades of combined experience in the industry.

Our pricing is always FAIR. We do NOT seek to be the "cheapest" by cutting corners while manufacturing in China or utilizing "cheap" and typically inferior components from China (for example). Safety, durability and quality are paramount for K PLAY.
Our pricing is always TRANSPARENT - unlike some of our notable competitors.
When we provide a price, our quotation is for the Total Cost including design, production, shipping and installation COMPLETE. Unlike these competitors: we don’t advertise or quote artificially low, seemingly “discount” prices while failing to mention that the price doesn’t include shipping or installation! (be sure to carefully read the fine print in these competitors’ terms & conditions of sale).
Additionally, when we provide a price - unlike some of our notable competitors - we also do not try to lure you in with deceptive, misleading “discounts”. These “discounts” or “reduced prices” are almost always calculated from an inflated “regular” or “list” price.
Dear Prospective, Valued Client:
K PLAY promises to ALWAYS quote you a FAIR, completely TRANSPARENT price for the TOTAL amount you will pay for design, production, shipping and installation. Project COMPLETE.
Please send us your Floor Plan and let's get started. We genuinely look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
The K PLAY Team

For quality and safety reasons, we do NOT produce in China or source our playgrounds & components from China— unlike so MANY of our US and North American competitors.
FACT: several notable competitors here in the US - while appearing local and “American” - are simply distributing playground equipment and components made in China.
In our expert opinion, having substantial, hands-on experience working with the whole range of Chinese playground equipment components:
This equipment from China is ultimately “cheap” (not durable), often unsafe and often not compliant with ASTM and other safety standards - despite any representations otherwise. Buyer Beware!
Be sure to ask any potential play equipment supplier where EXACTLY they make their product, and where the many components are coming from. You shall see!
