Heather Smith | Bliss Products and Services, Playgrounds, Shade, Surfacing, and Site Amenities

Playground, Shade, and Park Amenities Support for Tampa Bay and Orlando Communities

Heather J. Smith supports public agencies and project teams across Tampa Bay and the Orlando area through Bliss Products and Services. She helps define the project scope, confirms constraints, and assembles coordinated packages for playgrounds, shade, surfacing, and site amenities. 

Usually involved in projects from early layout review through to installation coordination and closeout, Heather keeps reviews efficient and moving by narrowing down site options early, turning revisions quickly, and keeping drawings and specifications aligned across the project package. The goal is fewer rounds of edits and approvals.

Her recommendations focus on durable, high-use outdoor solutions selected for local Florida conditions, including high UV exposure, frequent rain, humidity, and coastal environments. Heather can provide budget ranges and alternative product choices while aligning documentation to cooperative purchasing when that fits the buyer’s process. When a direction is selected, she compiles an approval-ready submittal package with key details organized for review.

Working with parks and recreation teams, public and private schools, landscape architects, contractors, and community groups at concept, during bid, or for direct purchase requests, Heather is responsive and informed to local clients needs. Whether the projects scope calls for a single replacement item or a full site plan, Heather keeps the next step clear and the follow-through coordinated.

Most projects come down to a few early decisions: how the space will be used, what constraints drive the layout, and what the budget needs to cover. Heather helps teams compare viable options and align selections with site conditions, installation realities, and long-term ownership needs.
  • Inclusive play systems and independent components
  • Safety surfacing options: poured-in-place rubber, turf, engineered wood fiber
  • Shelters and pavilions, plus restroom buildings where needed
  • Shade structures and umbrellas
  • Site furnishings: benches, tables, waste and recycling, bike parking
  • Outdoor fitness and activity elements
  • Dog park elements and agility features
  • Sports and spectator needs, including bleachers and team benches

Heather selects equipment and site amenities built for long service life under daily use, with practical upkeep and routine maintenance in mind. Share a site address, a dropped pin, or a nearby intersection with a brief summary of what you need, and she will outline next steps with a focused shortlist and clear budget ranges.

Popular Outdoor Products for Tampa Bay and Orlando Sites

Across Tampa Bay and Orlando, many projects pair play with the everyday essentials that keep parks running well: user seating, tables for picnicing, waste bins and recycling receptacles, shade structures and timber shelters, plus fitness circuits, sports equipment, and dog park training courses. Heather helps keep these components coordinated so finishes stay consistent, installation stays clean, and the site performs under daily use.
