About Us
Frederick A. Martin founded Environment Design in 1974. He is an environment designer, which means that his perspective looks at the play environment as a total environment. We handle everything from site assessment, to evaluating the interests of your community, design, construction, and maintenance.
Our mission is to our children, family and sense of community. We design play environments that are stimulation for the imagination, Challenging for the body and a safe home for the free spirit of discovery.
Environment Design handles everything, including planning, design, project management, installation, qualified playground safety certification, and maintenance support. We use materials that are safe, durable, and, wherever possible, natural: real and recycled wood composite decking.

Quality & Experience
Our designs comply with the safety requirements of the Consumer Products Safety Commission and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Environment Design, llc is fully insured as a playground manufacturer.
Safety verses Risk
Our designs balance safety with challenging activity. Too many designs have eliminated physical challenge in the mistaken belief that challenges equate with danger. Actually, statistics show that children who learn how to climb, hang on and negotiate physical challenges are less likely to have accidents than those youngsters who do not have varied physical play.
Every playground offers a range of challenging activities and maximum safety. In fact, Environment Design has a superior record of quality and safety. No playground producer has a better record.
