 Finnegan Playground Adventures was founded with the children of Minnesota in mind.  Our core commitment is not to just build playgrounds, it is to create unique and safe places for our children.

  • Designing and building a playground can be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have.   It can also be like walking on the moon unless you have the right partner.  Our industry expertise and cutting edge design tools will be essential in bringing your ideas, and your children’s dreams, all together into a compliant, safe, and unique playground design.

  • We represent Minnesota and only Minnesota.  Other playground vendors serve multi-state, national, and even international territories.  Covering this much ground is sure to make some corporate stockholders happy, but it really doesn’t mean too much when you are planning a play space for your children in Minnesota. From your first call with FPA, our commitment to local will be apparent.

  • Minnesota is one of the most challenging environments for outdoor recreation equipment on the planet.  We understand that your playground is a lifetime investment in your children and for your community.  Our product lines are selected to be functional and safe for your children and the lifetime of your playground. We back this commitment up with a solid product warranty and the experience of almost three decades of service.

 It’s not just the playground…
It’s the adventure that unfolds.

  • There is more to planning a playground than meets the eye.  Your playground committee would need a landscape architect,  a contractor, a surfacing installer, a civil engineer, a playground designer, fundraiser, a safety and an ADA compliance expert, even a municipal contact. We all know that isn’t the real world.  As your playground partner, we will help you manage all of these aspects of your project, from site preparation, surfacing selection,  safety compliance, equipment design etc.. We proudly offer you the expertise to move your project off the drawing board and into reality in a professional and fun way.

  • A playground project has many moving parts and we have seen some take years to complete.  At FPA, our resources will quickly move your project forward. Our proprietary Play Design software will save you hours of emails, phone calls, and meetings.  In a design workshop, we can sit down with you and your group and develop several playground design concepts.  What sets us apart is our ability to build a 3D model visual in a matter of minutes, so the discussion can continue and be productive.  Nobody in the industry can do this faster and more efficiently than FPA.

  • Access to playgrounds is not only important, it is required by ADA law.  Inclusiveness for all children and adults is always at the top of mind when we put together your playground. All of our unique playground designs meet and surpass all legal requirements, and we do this without sacrificing any of the fun.  Inclusive playground requirements aren’t limited to the borders of the playground either; there’s site access, parking, and seating to consider. FPA can walk you through every step of the process and then guarantee ADA, CPSC, and ASTM compliance in writing.
