News from GameTime
Check out the latest parks and recreation news and announcements from GameTime.
A great park is more than open space. It is a place where families gather, children play, communities connect, and people of all ages find ways to move.
With Parks and Recreation Month taking place in July, it is the perfect time to celebrate the spaces that help bring communities together. It is also a great reminder that the right park products can make a big difference.
From shade and gathering areas to inclusive play and outdoor fitness, here are a few products every park should consider.
Shelters
Shelters are one of the most useful additions to any park. Salora park and playground shelters combine modern design with durable, weather-resistant materials. After all the only thing that should be melting this summer is a popsicle, not park visitors.
Whether used for birthday parties, picnics, school outings, or special events, shelters help extend the time people spend at the park. They also create a natural meeting point that makes a park feel more welcoming and complete.
For communities
Outdoor fitness spaces are helping communities create healthier, more active environments for people of all ages. Whether you're planning a walking trail, a dedicated workout area, or a wellness hub within a larger park, one challenge often stands in the way: funding.
The good news? There are more funding opportunities available for outdoor recreation and wellness projects than ever before. With the right strategy, communities can secure the resources needed to bring their vision to life.
Start With a Clear Vision
Before searching for funding, define the purpose of your outdoor fitness space. Funding organizations want to understand how a project will benefit the people it serves.
Ask questions like:
- Who will use the space?
- How will it improve access to recreation in your community?
- Will it serve multiple generations?
These questions will help your park serve more members of your community and support funding efforts.

There's over $3 billion in funds
One of the biggest misconceptions about playgrounds is that every project has to cost six figures. The reality? Communities, schools, churches, HOAs, and childcare centers build amazing play spaces every year on much smaller budgets.
With smart planning, phased installation, and the right equipment choices, a high-quality playground can fit almost any budget.
Start With the “$1,000 Per Child” Rule
A common starting point in playground budgeting is estimating around $1,000 per child capacity for a play system.
For example:
- 15-child playground = approximately $15,000 project
- 25-child playground = approximately $25,000 project
- 50-child playground = approximately $50,000 project
- 75-child playground = approximately $75,000 project
This rule is not exact, but it helps schools and parks departments quickly estimate realistic project costs early in planning.
What Actually Impacts Playground Cost?
Play System Size
The biggest cost driver is the size and complexity of the main structure.
