Fundraising
Looking for effective ways to pay for your future park or school playground or community skatepark? We can help you set up a highly profitable fundraising program. From scratch-off games to walk-a-thons, fundraising has never been easier or more fun.
Playground Grants
While playgrounds and skateparks are great investments, funding a project can pose some challenges. The good news is that there is nearly always money available, you just have to know where to look for it! Playground grants are just one way you can get the funds you need to make your project happen.
While we don’t offer grants directly, we’ve put together a Grant Guide that provides a listing of federal and state programs, as well as grants offered by corporations.

Purchasing Contracts
Expedite and simplify the buying process using our purchasing contracts! These contracts are nationwide government-procurement services that establish competitively priced contracts for goods and services, including skatepark and playground equipment and site furnishings, with the assurance that all contracts have been awarded through a competitive, public bidding process that is compliant with your state bidding statutes.
Any tax-based agency or non-profit 501c can take advantage of this easy-to-use, no cost service. Enroll by completing a short registration process. Then purchase Landscape Structures’ skatepark and playground equipment at a great price through HGACBuy, The Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) or the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA). Contact us to learn how you could avoid the bid process.

If you’re eligible to buy through the GSA pricing schedule, we’ll help you expedite the purchasing process and save a considerable amount of money—compared to the standard bid process—using our GSA contract. Our GSA Contract Number is GS-07F-0440N. Contact us to learn more.
