Ron Harley - Bliss Products and Services Playground & Outdoor Equipment Sales Rep. - Florida Panhandle
Serving Communities from Pensacola to Tallahassee
I’m Ron Harley, I specialize in commercial playground equipment and park development throughout the Florida Panhandle – from Pensacola to Tallahassee, Panama City to Fort Walton Beach, and communities like Marianna, DeFuniak Springs, Quincy, and Milton. With nearly a decade of experience and a background in commercial construction, I’ve helped schools, municipalities, parks departments, and HOAs create outdoor spaces that are safe, durable, and built to serve the community for years to come.
What sets me apart is my hands-on approach. I stay involved through every stage of the process – from early planning and product selection to site visits and final walkthroughs. I don’t just sell outdoor and playground equipment – I work closely with clients and crews to make sure each project is built right, on time, and with long-term value in mind.
Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of public recreation and outdoor learning projects across Northwest Florida — from rural towns like Chipley and Apalachicola to larger cities like Tallahassee and Pensacola — including:
- Playgrounds and outdoor classrooms for schools and child development centers
- Community park upgrades and public amenity installations
- Shade structures, pavilions, and wind-rated shelters
- Sand volleyball courts, sports field accessories, and bleachers
- Pre-engineered buildings, restroom facilities, and custom site furnishings
Every project I take on is guided by function, safety, accessibility, and long-term performance. I help you work through layout design, ADA compliance, product options, procurement processes, and timelines – all while making sure your budget goes as far as possible.
Because I work in the Florida Panhandle, I understand the region’s unique challenges – like coastal wind ratings, sun exposure, humidity, and local permitting requirements. I’ve supported projects in both rural and urban settings, and I know how to navigate the realities of working with schools, city departments, and public funding timelines.

Whether you’re working on a schoolyard renovation in Blountstown, a city park upgrade in Port St. Joe, or transforming an underused lot in Bonifay into a vibrant neighborhood pocket play area, I’m here to help make the process smoother, clearer, and more rewarding. From the earliest planning stages to ribbon-cutting day and beyond, you’ll have a knowledgeable, hands-on partner every step of the way.
Let’s create something lasting – a place where families gather, kids explore, and communities thrive – together, under the Florida sun. If you can dream it, I can help you build it – and I’ll make sure it’s done right.

What Folks in the Florida Panhandle Are Saying
Real Projects. Real Communities. Real Results.
From Pensacola to Tallahassee and everywhere in between, I’ve worked with parks departments, schools, and city planners who want more than just equipment – they want spaces that work for their people. Whether it’s a tough shelter that can stand up to storms or a playground that brings all ages together, I take pride in helping make those plans real. Every job is different, but the goal’s the same: build something solid that brings people outside. Because many organizations limit named testimonials, these short notes reflect the typical close-out comments we’re allowed to share. If you need named references, I can provide them on request through the proper channels.
“Ron translated a long wish list into a clean plan we could present to the board. The budget and lead times were clear, and approval was straightforward.”
“Every email had a direct answer and a next step. We always knew what was happening and what decision was needed.”
“Our coastal site needed durable shade and surfacing. Ron and Bliss Products and Services specified materials that stand up to sun, salt, and heavy use.”
“The submittal set was complete on the first pass, which kept our schedule on track. Procurement told me it was the simplest package they reviewed this year.”
“Ron made pricing transparent with good, better, best options. We chose quickly and stayed within funding.”
“BPS coordinated delivery and installers around our school calendar. The site opened on time and looks great.”
“Support did not stop at purchase. Ron checked in, handled punch list items fast, and kept communication open the whole way.”
Appreciation from the Field
A Few Recognitions I’m Grateful For
Most of what I do doesn’t come with a trophy – and that’s just fine by me. The real reward is when a project gets built, and the community comes out to use it. Still, over the years, a few recognitions have come my way, and I’m proud to share them.
These awards reflect the work I’ve done with schools, parks departments, and local agencies across the Florida Panhandle – not just the results, but the way we got there. It’s about solving problems together, staying involved through the final walkthrough, and doing what’s right for the site.
If this kind of support is what you’re looking for, I’d be glad to bring it to your next project.
