Patty Carruthers – Bliss Products and Services Playground and Outdoor Equipment Sales Representative for Southeast Florida / Miami

Helping Southeast Florida communities design and build playgrounds, fitness areas, dog parks, shade structures, and gathering spaces that last for generations.

Rolling Oaks Park - Nature Themed Playground - Florida

Rolling Oaks - Ninja Themed Playground - Florida
My career in parks and playgrounds started in 1988 on the manufacturer side, and I have supported community recreation projects across Southeast Florida since relocating in 1995. I joined Bliss Products and Services in 2006, bringing a practical focus on safety standards, documentation, and buildable site plans.

Referrals and returning clients account for more than 90% of my work. That comes from clear communication, early confirmation of details, and finished spaces that match what the site team expected.

Across the Treasure Coast, Miami-Dade, and the Keys, projects range from playgrounds and surfacing to shade, outdoor fitness, courts, and site furnishings. Local conditions like sun, coastal air, wind, and heavy use influence what materials, hardware, and finishes make the most sense for long-term durability.

I work with schools, municipalities, HOAs, and park departments across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, helping teams compare options and organize purchasing details. If a project is being purchased through an existing city or county contract or a cooperative purchasing program, I can help align the package so it is ready for ordering.

Every site starts with a few non-negotiables: available space, budget range, safety and accessibility needs, and how the project will be purchased and installed. From there, I narrow the choices to a short list that is easy to compare and move forward with.

  • Play structures, climbers, and independent play
  • Shade systems with wind-rated options
  • Safety surfacing: PIP rubber, turf, EWF
  • Shelters, pavilions, and supporting amenities
  • Dog parks and agility features
  • Outdoor fitness and activity zones
  • Site furnishings: benches, tables, waste and recycling
  • Inclusive layouts with clear accessible routes

Selections are organized to match your site constraints, budget range, and timeline, with clear options for play, shade, surfacing, and supporting amenities. With support from Bliss Products and Services, quantities, cut sheets, and purchasing details are packaged for stakeholder approval so your team can approve and order with confidence. Share the site location and your target timeline, and I will outline next steps.

Recent Project Examples:

This gallery highlights a mix of site examples to help Southeast Florida teams compare layouts, surfacing transitions, shade coverage, and supporting amenities. Some images reflect projects within my service area and others are included as product references from the wider Bliss Products and Services network. If a layout or feature fits your goals, I will translate it into a buildable plan sized to your site, budget range, and timeline.

If a layout here feels close to what you want, send the project name or a screenshot and your site location. Include your target timeline and any must-haves, and I will confirm code considerations and site constraints before outlining a short set of buildable options tailored to your site. You will receive clear drawings, quantities, budget ranges, and practical next steps to move forward.

Popular Outdoor Products for Southeast Florida Communities

Product selection sets the tone for how a park or school space will function day to day. Recent requests often come from communities such as West Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, and Islamorada. Across Southeast Florida, I help teams combine play, shade, surfacing, and supporting amenities so the layout fits the site, holds up to routine use, and stays within budget.

If you share a few photos and the basics of what you want to build, I will recommend a practical mix of products and provide budget ranges for planning. With support from Bliss Products and Services, selections and specifications are organized so your team can review options and move forward confidently.

Themed Playground
Aluminum bleachers with full-perimeter guardrails and a center aisle handrail at a sports field, available from Bliss Products and Services.

Ballfield dugout bench shelter with chain-link fence, available from Bliss Products and Services.
Pocket Park

When you are ready, send your shortlist and the site details. I will confirm fit and priorities, then return drawings, quantities, lead times, warranty notes, and clear budget ranges to support review and ordering. From there, the next steps stay simple: finalize selections, coordinate delivery and installation, and move the project forward with confidence.
