PlayCore’s portfolio of products goes back to 1929, but while “play” is obvious from their name, they also offer site furnishings, aquatics, fitness, shade/shelters, dog parks, surfacing, and so much more. Here are three things you may not know about PlayCore!

1. While everyone knows about their rich history in playground products, the company has expanded its brand portfolio over the past 20 years to include nearly everything one would find in a public outdoor space, in nearly 100 product categories! From the custom designs of ID Sculpture to the trusted site furnishings of Victor Stanley, Poligon, and Icon, to the bike parking and storage options offered by Dero, PlayCore helps make specifying easier with coordinated delivery and installation, and an incredibly broad, trusted portfolio of brands.

2. They have their own research department! With a Research Institute numbering more than 40 scholars and universities, PlayCore's Center for Outreach, Research & Education (CORE) provides a library of complimentary evidence-based resources on topics ranging from inclusive design to providing plants with play value. Based on knowledge from the Research Institute, these free tools provide you with best practice knowledge and a host of leave-behind tools for your clients.

3. They offer free CEU courses. CORE’s Professional Development Hub offers complimentary LACES and AIA CEUs (it even stores your CEU certificates for easy reference!) Topics are relevant, timely, and continuously refreshed. Check out the course library and add this resource to your CEU strategy.
