Where It All Began

Our History

Founded in 1991 by Rick Rayner, Activity Playgrounds began as a small team of just three employees with a shared passion for creating safe and inspiring places to play.

Over the years, the company has steadily grown, now employing a team of over 26 dedicated staff, including full-time, part-time, casual employees, and students gaining valuable work experience.

In the early days, our focus was on modular playground equipment. By 2005, we expanded our services to include shade structures, offering complete solutions for outdoor play areas.

Today, we work closely with landscape architects, local councils, schools, and community organisations to deliver full-scale commercial playground projects, including park construction and landscaping.

A True Family Business

Activity Playgrounds has always been a family-owned and operated business, with 18 family members contributing to the company at various stages over the years.

From the very beginning, Rick had the best “product testers” on hand, his own children! This family involvement continues to shape our values today, driving our commitment to quality, care, and creating play spaces that truly make a difference.
