How Much Does it Cost to Design a Playground?

The average cost to design a playground is £5,000 - £30,000. However, the cost of designing a playground can vary significantly depending on various factors.

Playground Designs in South East

Here are some factors that can influence the cost of designing playgrounds:

  • Size of the Playground: Larger playgrounds will generally cost more to design than smaller ones due to the increased amount of space to plan and work with.

  • Type of Playground: The type of playground you want to create can greatly impact the cost. A simple, traditional playground with basic equipment will be less expensive than a themed or custom-designed playground with unique features.

  • Equipment and Features: The cost will also depend on the types of play equipment and features you want to include. High-quality, durable playground equipment can be expensive. Additionally, features like safety surfacing, seating, shade structures, and landscaping will add to the overall cost.

  • Safety Standards and Regulations: Playground designs must comply with safety standards and regulations. Meeting these standards may require additional planning and engineering, which can affect costs.

  • Design and Planning Fees: If you hire a professional playground designer or landscape architect, their fees will be part of the overall cost. Design fees can vary based on the complexity of the project.

  • Location and Site Preparation: The cost of site preparation, such as grading, drainage, and utility connections, can vary depending on the condition of the site and local requirements.

  • Accessibility: Designing an accessible playground that accommodates individuals with disabilities may add costs for specialised equipment and features.

  • Maintenance Considerations: Planning for ongoing maintenance and upkeep should also be factored into the design and budget.

  • Community Involvement: Some projects involve community fundraising or volunteer labour, which can offset some of the design costs.

  • Permitting and Approvals: Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities can also add to the overall cost.

To get an accurate estimate for the cost of designing a playground, it's essential to work with a professional designer or consultant who can assess your specific needs and provide a detailed quotation estimate based on your project's unique requirements.
