Leading the Jacksonville, St. Johns, Gainesville, and surrounding North Central Florida territory, I work closely with Jessica Allen who provides support along with the team at Bliss Products and Services estimating, design, and customer service team. This support allows me to focus on helping client’s teams plan durable public spaces that are straightforward to review and construct.

Your team shares a brief, photos, and the target date. I’ll review access routes, slopes, drainage, and utilities, confirm safety clearances and footing needs, then recommend two or three practical options that fit the space and intended use. You will have the key information needed to compare choices and move the project into the next review step.

After approval, fabrication is scheduled and delivery organized, certified installers are coordinated along with support submittals and inspections. 

Project photo note: Example highlights coordinated circulation, shade placement, and surfacing choices that support comfort, safety, and straightforward upkeep.

Award-Recognized Design Examples

These award-recognized examples highlight design approaches and product selections from our manufacturing partners and the broader Bliss Products and Services network. They demonstrate layout flow, shade and surfacing transitions, accessibility integration, and long-term material performance suitable for Florida environments.

If one of these examples fits your goals along Florida’s Gulf Coast or North Central region, share your site location, target date, and purchasing route. I will adapt the concept into a practical, review-ready package with layout drawings, quantities, budget ranges, and current lead times tailored to your project.

For a short set of comparable references for North Central and Gulf Coast Florida, share your site address and proposed project launch date. I’ll ensure to recommend coordinated options for play, shade, surfacing, and site amenities that align with your budget and review process.

Popular Site Products for Jacksonville and Gainesville

In North Central Florida, successful park and school projects pair play zones with supporting amenities that handle heat, humidity, and year-round use. I work with six high-demand categories that come up most often: swings and swing bays, slides and sliding hills, music and sensory play, outdoor classroom and learning spaces, inclusive play components, and spinners and motion play. Share your site address, age group, and priorities, and I’ll help narrow options and coordinate selections that fit the space and budget.

Swings and Swing Bays

Swings are a simple way to add high-use play value in a small footprint. Browse swing bays and seat options to see what fits the space and the age group.

Slides and Sliding Hills

Slides create an instant focal point and help shape the flow of a play zone. Use these examples to compare slide styles and how they look in the wider playground layout.

Music and Sensory Play

Musical and sensory elements add inclusive, repeatable play that works at ground level. These examples highlight pieces that invite participation and complement larger play structures.

Outdoor Classroom and Learning Spaces

Outdoor learning areas create flexible space for small groups, lessons, and community programs. Use these examples to compare layout styles that pair well with shade and seating.

Inclusive Play Components

Inclusive components help more people engage comfortably at different activity levels. Look for examples like transfer points, ground-level play, and supportive seating options.

Spinners and Motion Play

Motion elements add energy and variety without needing a large footprint. Compare spinner styles and see-saws to find a look that complements the rest of the play zone.

If something here fits your plan, tell me where it will be used and your launch or product reveal date.
