Our Story
Trusted, Experienced & Committed to Play
At Safe Play Australia, we’re more than just playground suppliers—we’re play experts, helping schools, councils, and communities create safe, engaging, and long-lasting play spaces. With a legacy dating back to 1993, we’ve been proudly delivering quality playgrounds across Victoria for over three decades.
Originally founded as Safe Play Systems, we’ve been part of thousands of successful playground projects—many for repeat customers who trust us to deliver time and time again. While playground companies come and go, we have stood the test of time, proving our commitment to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction.
A Reputation Built on Experience & Trust
Our dedication to exceptional service has made us a preferred supplier for government contracts and school networks across Victoria. We understand the unique needs of schools and councils, and we take pride in making the process of designing and installing a playground seamless and stress-free.
At Safe Play Australia, customers come first. We don’t just build playgrounds—we build relationships, with the majority of our work coming from return customers who trust us to bring their visions to life again and again.
A Family-Owned Business with a Passion for Play
In 2018, Kent and Michelle Applegate took ownership of the business, rebranding to Safe Play Australia and continuing its strong legacy of innovation and reliability. With a focus on long-term partnerships, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship, the company has continued to grow while staying true to its family values and customer-first approach.
A Team That Loves What They Do
Behind every playground we build is a dedicated, passionate, and experienced team. Many of our employees have been with us for years—some for decades—because they love what they do. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to creating safe, exciting, and innovative play spaces is what sets us apart.
From concept to completion, we’re here to help—guiding you through every step to create a playground that inspires play, fosters connection, and stands the test of time.
