Classic Construction. Modern Design. Built for Outdoor Gathering.
Add lasting value, function, and architectural character to parks, schools, community centers, religious facilities, sports complexes, and other outdoor environments with high-quality steel shelters and open-air structures from Playground Expedition.
From picnic pavilions and gazebos to metal pergolas, kiosks, and custom shelter solutions, Playground Expedition offers a wide range of durable structures designed to enhance outdoor spaces while providing dependable sun and weather protection.
Available in a variety of sizes, styles, roof configurations, and finishes, these structures can be tailored to the needs of each site. Gable and hip-roof shelters are ideal for picnics, community events, outdoor classrooms, and gathering areas, while kiosks can support wayfinding, announcements, schedules, and visitor information. At athletic facilities, cantilever structures and open-air shelters can provide shade and comfort for spectators, players, and guests.
For landscape architects, planners, schools, municipalities, developers, and facility operators, our shelter solutions can also become an important architectural element within the overall site design. Whether the objective is to create a signature gathering space, improve visitor comfort, or add long-term functionality, steel structures provide a durable alternative to temporary or fabric-based solutions.
Coastal Design Concepts works with established manufacturers and suppliers from across the country to provide dependable, attractive outdoor structures supported by professional planning, site preparation, construction, and installation.
Our goal is to help clients select the right structure for the environment and then deliver a complete solution—from concept and product selection through final construction.
