I got in touch with Willygoat and said here are my areas and my budget, what can we do? Over the course of a week or so we had figured out options for what the equipment could be and what the cost would be for equipment, delivery installation. We emailed to come up with the best design options that would fit into our space with all the proper fall zones and barrier requirements. Our staff made their choices and we got the billing in under the grant deadline!
After everything was onsite we had the installation team show up and they are pros at putting these things together and within a few days it was all done. You can see the results. Our kids were very excited to have their new playground ready for spring.
At WillyGoat, we know that playgrounds do more than just entertain—they help kids grow, learn, and connect. That’s why we’re passionate about providing high-quality playground equipment and outdoor play solutions that bring communities together. Recently, we had the chance to work with a Community Non-profit focused on enriching the lives of young children in their community. Together, we turned a tight deadline into a success story—and a brand-new playground kids can’t get enough of.
A Big Vision—and a Tight Timeline
When this Non-profit reached out to us, they had a clear mission: build two new playgrounds that would serve as safe, exciting spaces for kids to play and grow. The catch? They were up against a serious deadline to secure grant funding.
“There was a looming deadline for the grant funds,” one of their team members shared. “We were told, ‘Please help. WillyGoat is the best option—they can figure it out.’”
Custom Playground Solutions—Fast
We jumped in right away, knowing how important this was for their community. With detailed site measurements and budgets in hand, we worked closely with the nonprofit’s team to design
custom playgrounds that delivered maximum value—without sacrificing fun or safety.
“I sent WillyGoat my playground areas and budget and said, ‘What can we do?’” they told us.
Within a week, we had nailed down the designs, chosen the best equipment, and mapped out delivery and installation. At WillyGoat, we pride ourselves on making playground planning easy, even when time is tight.
Here’s What We Built
Take a look at the standout playground equipment we brought to life:
-
Tysons Corner Playground: This impressive playground structure is a real showstopper. It features Transfer Station stairs, a large hexagonal deck with a Drum Panel for musical fun, and two 5-foot platforms—each with its own slide. Kids can climb, explore, and challenge themselves with features like the Vertical Ladder, Inverted Arch Ladder, Overhead Trapezoid Loop Ladder, and Craggy Climber rock walls.
-
Durable Plastic Playground Borders: Our easy-to-install borders keep play areas safe and tidy. Available in both 8" and 12" heights, they include our exclusive Surfacing Guide to help maintain proper safety surfacing depth—an essential part of any playground setup.
-
ADA Funball Hoop: This inclusive playground addition encourages kids of all abilities to join in the fun. Built from top-quality materials and adjustable in height, it’s designed to bring everyone together for active outdoor play.
- Starbright Imagination Station: Full of exciting avenues for play, this playground set helps kids activate their minds, bodies, and imaginations. On the ground floor, children can dive into sensory fun with Bongos and a Rain Wheel. After scaling the Fish Stairs, they’ll find the Tic Tac Toe Panel and Clock Panel—perfect for sparking little minds. And when it’s time for a thrill, the Hard Hat Right Turn Slide offers a quick trip back down to start the fun all over again.
“Our team reviewed all the options quickly,” they said. “We got everything finalized—equipment, delivery, and installation—just in time to submit before the grant deadline.”
Seamless Delivery and Installation
Like any big project, there were a few bumps along the way. One playground shipment arrived fast but had a missing part. “WillyGoat worked with us immediately to resolve the issue,” they recalled. “They made sure everything was sorted out quickly.”
The larger playground shipment took a bit longer, but the nonprofit’s staff was ready to pitch in when it arrived. “We had our team prepared to unload and inventory the equipment,” they said. Once everything was on site, our professional installation crew handled the rest—transforming the space in just a few days.
A Playground That Brings Joy
The results speak for themselves. The new playgrounds have quickly become the heart of the community, filled with laughter, creativity, and adventure.
“You can see the impact,” they told us. “Our kids were so excited to have a new playground ready in time for spring. It’s amazing to see them enjoying it every day.”
