In the early stages, Activity Playgrounds focused on modular play equipment, adding shade sails to their product range and service in 2005. More recently Activity Playgrounds have been working closely with their customer (landscape architects, local councils, schools, etc) to provide complete commercial playgrounds with park construction and landscaping.
