Welcome to your one-stop shop for all things playground. Welcome to General Recreation, Inc.
Since 1973, Gen Rec has been the premier provider of play structures and play equipment for all age groups. From site evaluation to planning and design, from fundraising to playground installation, General Recreation helps schools and communities in New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania enhance kids’ social skills and fine motor skills with state-of-the-art elementary school and preschool playground equipment.
Work with our experienced playground designers to create a unique daycare playground that kids will love. Your General Recreation representative is there with you every step of the way, from the initial consultation through fundraising (if needed), then from the blueprint design until ultimate installation.
Join us in the sandbox. Let’s combine your wishes with our knowledge – and together we’ll create the perfect playground for daycare kids to play!
It’s not our playground. It’s not your playground. It’s for the kids. Let’s design it for them.
Professional childcare providers understand the vital importance of providing children with age-appropriate play structures that stimulate the senses and encourage them to explore. Our goal is to allow kids to do just that – to engage and experiment with their surroundings, to learn the meaning of maintaining focus and overcoming challenges, and to benefit from spending time socializing with their peers.
Working with your General Recreation consultant, we’ll design complete play structure systems offering a range of features that promote physical activity (climbing, jumping, swinging, sliding) and are attractive to the senses (greens and reds and blues and yellows) while additionally providing intellectual challenges through problem-solving and social interactions through play with friends – always aligning with your wishes and sticking to your budget.
Let’s do what’s best for the kids’ physical health and cognitive development. Let’s put together a unique daycare playground where they can discover what the concept of adventure really means.
No matter what kind of playground you’re thinking about for your playground, equipment must be as safe as possible. Fortunately, all the playground equipment provided by General Recreation meets the most rigorous safety standards.
That equipment typically includes shaded areas, soft surfaces, rounded edges, and covered moving parts – perfect for kids of all ages, from toddlers to elementary-age groups, to experience the fun of play.
Whether you’re designing a daycare playground for unstructured play, inclusive play, or to reinforce what the students are learning in school, General Recreation creates playground solutions that are age-appropriate, durable, and uncompromisingly safe.
There’s no limit to what children can do when they learn how to play with others. Nor should there be a limit on which kids can join in the fun.
Check out our sister website InclusivePlaygrounds.net by General Recreation, Inc. There, you’ll see a plethora of playground equipment made to be inclusive for children of all physical abilities.
We believe inclusivity is essential to any daycare playground equipment or design. Kids of all ages and abilities deserve to share in the joy of play – and the playground equipment provided by Gen Rec is manufactured and installed with all kids in mind.
Go beyond accessibility. Support the physical, social, and emotional development of your school’s or community’s kids. Offer them a diverse array of play experiences on your custom-designed playground, and make sure everyone gets a chance to take their turn.
Did you know that some companies have grant money for local playgrounds? Sure, it’s a public relations boon for them – but it’s a very worthwhile cause, and a boon for the kids too.
General Recreation has connections to a range of corporations, foundations, and funding entities with grant money available for the asking. Typically, these are competitive grants requiring an application process. Since Gen Rec has been doing this since 1973, we know what those grant-funders want to see and we’ll help you put together a strong application for those all-important dollars.
Combine any grants we can get with school and/or municipal funding, and you’re well on the way to the price of an amazingly fun new daycare playground!
If there’s one universal truth, it’s this: Children love to play.
In fact, we believe that children need to play, need to interact, need to have fun to develop the social skills and fine and gross motor skills that’ll become so necessary as they grow up. Playtime is learning time.
So General Recreation Inc. has made it our mission to enhance the development of children in communities all across the region we serve: the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
We’ve designed and constructed playgrounds from Pittsburgh PA to Deptford NJ, Allentown PA to Wilmington DE. We work with communities and schools in Philadelphia PA, Hawthorne NJ, and Bethany Beach DE, creating memorable feature-laden playspaces both indoors and outdoors. Please check out our online gallery for more examples of our playground equipment in action.
Basically, General Recreation Inc. can turn any space into a place of socially healthy fun and interactive games for the kids.
If you’re in Delaware, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, your best call is to General Recreation. We’ll design and install the daycare play structures that’ll have kids laughing and enjoying themselves for many years to come.
