Southeast Florida Counties and Communities I Represent

Playground Design & Recreation Solutions for Coastal Towns and Growing Communities

Southeast Florida serves many kinds of communities, from high-use coastal parks to smaller towns such as Okeechobee and Islamorada. While each county has its own priorities, the goal stays consistent: safe, usable outdoor spaces that fit the neighborhood and are practical to maintain.

Parks, schools, and HOAs typically need coordinated decisions across play equipment, shade, surfacing, shelters, and site furnishings. The first step is confirming clearances, foundations, coatings, and mounting needs, then aligning selections to local code considerations and real-world daily use. With support from Bliss Products and Services, the next deliverable is a review-ready package with plan views, cut sheets, quantities, budget ranges, and current lead times.

Needs can range from school playground improvements in St. Lucie to dog park additions in Broward and shade near waterfront seating in the Keys. Use the Call or Email buttons to connect, or scroll down to review featured counties and project examples.

Insights from a playground and outdoor equipment specialist

Over time, projects and site walks across Southeast Florida highlight what matters most in heat, salt air, and wind. This section shares practical field notes on material choices, sequencing that helps teams stay on schedule, and small details that make a space feel welcoming. Some entries are quick observations from the field, and others are short checklists and ideas you can reuse on your own site.

Featured Counties & Cities in Southeast Florida

Every community has its own character, and the right solution depends on how the space will be used day to day. From Palm Beach Gardens and Miramar to Cutler Bay and Florida City, I help schools, parks, and neighborhood groups choose practical options that fit the space, the budget, and long-term upkeep. The goal is a finished site that feels welcoming and stays reliable over time.
