Commercial Playground Installation for Texas School Districts
All Play Inc. is Houston’s premier commercial playground supplier and installation contractor for Texas Independent School Districts (ISDs). We have been designing, supplying, and installing safe, ADA-compliant, IPEMA-certified playgrounds for Texas schools since 1991. As an approved vendor on Texas BuyBoard and Choice Partners, your district can engage us without a standalone RFP process.
Our team acts as dedicated experts in turn-key playground solutions for Texas school campuses — from the initial site visit through ASTM safety documentation and ribbon cutting. All Play Inc. is the exclusive Little Tikes Commercial® representative in Southeast Texas.
We Are the Premier Commercial Playground Company for Texas ISDs. Here’s Why!
1. BuyBoard & Choice Partners Approved — No RFP Required Texas ISDs that are BuyBoard or Choice Partners members can procure commercial playground equipment and installation directly from All Play Inc. — satisfying Texas competitive bidding law without issuing a standalone RFP. This saves your procurement team weeks of administrative time.
2. IPEMA-Certified Installation All Play Inc. installations are IPEMA-certified, meeting ASTM F1487 structural safety standards and ASTM F1292 fall attenuation requirements. Most Texas ISD insurance carriers require IPEMA-certification for coverage purposes — we handle it as standard.
3. Full ADA Compliance by Design Public school playgrounds are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act. We design ADA compliance into every project from day one — accessible routes, accessible components, and compliant safety surfacing — not as a retrofit.
4. Board-Ready CAD Drawings & 3D Renderings We produce professional CAD layouts and photorealistic 3D renderings at no additional cost — ready to insert into your board packet and present to your school board and parent committees.
5. Bonded, Insured, and Texas-Experienced All Play Inc. carries the full insurance and bonding documentation required by Texas ISD contractor requirements. We are experienced coordinating with ISD facilities departments, risk management teams, and purchasing offices.
6. Turn-Key from Site Visit to Ribbon Cutting We manage the entire project — site assessment, design, cooperative purchasing documentation, permitting, site preparation, installation, safety surfacing, inspection, and handoff. One vendor. Zero hand-offs.
7. A Happy ISD Clientele Our ISD clients enthusiastically refer us because we deliver on our promises. From Barbers Hill ISD to Oppe Elementary, our completed projects speak for themselves.
