About Openspace
Partners in play, champions in teamwork
It's not just about great designs and quality parts; it's about the team that brings it all together.
Parks play a special role in keeping our communities, families and kids happy and healthy. And few areas of the park are able to draw people of all ages and abilities together like the playground and splash pad. Creating an awesome space has an exciting payoff. But you’ll need to make a lot of people happy along the way and that doesn’t just happen automatically.
Great parks are the result of proper planning, passionate effort, expert execution and tremendous teamwork. That's where Openspace shines.
We’ve assembled an incredible team to serve as your go-to playground partner. They love what they do, know their stuff and they’re reliable from start to finish. From us, you can expect more. We put our heart into every project — big or small. We respond promptly, resolve issues quickly and fairly and we're always ready to meet in person to keep things moving. With our deep experience, we’re eager to share our wisdom to help you create a space everyone will love and you can be proud of. Because, at the end of the day, we're all in this together!
