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.

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.

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.

Because I live and work in the Florida Panhandle, I understand the region’s specific challenges – like coastal wind ratings, sun exposure, humidity, and local permitting requirements.

I’ve supported projects in both rural and urban settings and know how to work with schools, city departments, and public funding timelines – especially in counties like Gulf, Franklin, Liberty, and Holmes.

Whether it’s a schoolyard renovation in Blountstown, a park upgrade in Port St. Joe, or a new play space in Bonifay, I’m here to make the process smoother, clearer, and more rewarding.

From early planning to ribbon-cutting and beyond, I’ll be there every step of the way.

Let’s build something lasting – a place where families gather, kids explore, and communities thrive under the Florida sun.

If you can dream it, I can help you build it – and I’ll make sure it’s done right.

Hi, I’m Ron. I help schools, parks, and cities across the Florida Panhandle build better outdoor spaces – from Pensacola to Tallahassee, and towns like Marianna, Quincy, and DeFuniak Springs.

With nearly a decade of experience and a background in construction, I work closely with clients at every stage –  planning, equipment selection, install, and beyond.

I don’t just sell playgrounds. I make sure your space is built to last.

Projects include:

• Playgrounds and outdoor classrooms

• Shade and shelter structures

• Sports field accessories

• Pre-engineered restrooms and site furnishings

Serving counties like Gulf, Franklin, and Liberty, I know how to navigate permitting, budgets, and public timelines.

Let’s talk about your next project – and build something great for your community.

Chesapeake City Hall – Chesapeake, VA

When the City of Chesapeake needed to replace a 20-year-old bridge at City Hall, they were looking for something safer, stronger, and built to last.  The original walkway – beautiful but shaded by heavy tree cover – had become slick and hazardous after rain.

I partnered with city planners to design a covered pedestrian bridge that addressed the issue while fitting seamlessly into the park-like setting.  We matched the new bridge’s green metal roof to the CFP shelters already on-site, creating a unified look and architectural continuity throughout the City Hall complex.

What I appreciated most about this project was the opportunity to combine practical problem-solving with thoughtful, site-sensitive design. Every element—from the bridge slope to the selected materials – was chosen with long-term usability and community character in mind.

It’s a great example of what’s possible when public spaces are designed not just to meet code, but to serve real people in real places – safely, beautifully, and for years to come.

No two sites are exactly alike – and that’s what makes this work so worthwhile. Whether you’re early in the planning stage or ready to move forward, I’m here to help you make smart, lasting choices. I’ll walk you through what’s worked in other communities, answer your questions, and help you feel confident every step of the way. If something’s in the pipeline, let’s talk it through.

I’ve worked with parks, schools, and cities all across Northwest Florida – from Fort Walton to Blountstown. Some projects start with full plans, others with just a good idea. Either way, I’m here to help turn it into something that works.

The examples below give a feel for what that looks like in real spaces, built for real people.

Chesapeake City Hall – Chesapeake, VA

When the City of Chesapeake needed a safer, longer-lasting replacement for a 20-year-old bridge at City Hall, I worked with planners to create a covered pedestrian crossing that blended into the park-like setting.

We matched the new green metal roof to existing CFP shelters on-site, unifying the space while improving safety, accessibility, and architectural flow across the complex.

What stood out to me about this project was the chance to blend practical problem-solving with thoughtful, site-sensitive design.
From the bridge slope to the chosen materials, every element was selected with long-term usability and community character in mind.

It’s a strong example of how public spaces can go beyond code — designed to truly serve real people, in real places, for years to come.

If you’re planning something — big or small — I’ll help you figure out what fits, what lasts, and what makes sense for your community. I’ll walk you through what’s worked elsewhere and keep things simple.

Let’s see what we can build together.
