About Community Builds

Community builds are a great opportunity to bring a community together while saving money. We provide professional supervision for the installation of your project in Michigan & Ohio. Below are some points to consider for a volunteer-based project.

Your Penchura Recreation Consultant will assist you by providing items such as the prebuild agenda and “tools needed list” as well as addressing questions and concerns throughout your playground project.

Community Build Checklist

Be sure all documents and plans are in order

Are the plans, specifications and drawings understood and accurate? Are there any approvals that need to be obtained?

Storage

Where can the playground items be stored until build day?

Prepare the construction site

Can the construction site be accessed by the appropriate heavy equipment? Is the site prepared and excavated appropriately. Are food and restrooms available for volunteers?

Scheduling

Are there an appropriate number of volunteers for the job? What jobs need to be done first?

Site clean-up

Be sure to schedule volunteers for clean-up as well. Where will dirt, packing materials, and any old equipment be disposed of?

Celebrate

You have completed the job! Celebrate with a playground grand opening.
