- About Me
GameTime is the leader in play; since 1929 we've been building the world's playgrounds! We take a research based approach to play, and are the manufacturer that invests in third party studies with the world's experts in childhood development, kinesiology, height, nature, and accessibility...to ensure our products are more than just fun, they are developmentally designed to encourage and nurture our children.
Need site evaluation, design, fundraising assistance, help arranging a volunteer install, spray park equipment, playground equipment, surfacing, shade structures, camp stoves, fitness equipment, all in one space? Want to see what a totally inclusive play environment looks like, or how to incorporate nature into the play space and foster the environmental stewards of tomorrow? Looking for a program that allows you to meet NASPE standards for physical education on the playground, making PE fun for all, no matter their size, shape, or ability? GameTime has all that, and much more.
Being the leader in play isnt just a tagline...its a responsibility we take very seriously. We love to talk play, so join our network of friends, ask a questions, and let's make the world more playful for children and families!
