Founded in 2004 as a service-only provider, CRS delivered landscape services and managed all aspects of playground construction throughout NSW and Australia. Through a strong commitment to quality workmanship, reliability and attention to detail, the company rapidly built a trusted reputation with councils, schools, childcare centres, hospitals, holiday parks and leading playground equipment suppliers nationwide.
By 2010, CRS expanded its capabilities beyond construction, becoming a commercial playground equipment supplier and offering clients a complete design and construct playground solution. By importing playground equipment and integrating procurement with in-house project delivery, CRS positioned itself as a full-service playground company – providing concept design, supply and installation under one roof.
During this period of growth, CRS strategically invested in its future by bringing together some of Australia’s leading specialised design engineers. This expansion of in-house expertise enabled the development of a new generation of Australian-made playground equipment – purpose-built to meet local conditions, compliance requirements and community expectations.
Drawing on its strong landscape construction foundations, CRS also developed its own range of custom timber playground products. At a time when many playgrounds were dominated by standalone equipment, rubber surfacing and concrete edging, CRS was among the early designers to champion nature play principles – integrating natural materials, timber structures and landscape-driven play experiences into cohesive, immersive environments.
By combining engineering excellence with landscape-led design, CRS helped redefine playground delivery in Australia – shifting from equipment-focused installations to thoughtfully designed community spaces.
As demand for professionally designed and constructed playgrounds continued to grow nationwide, CRS strengthened its manufacturing capability and national delivery model to support an expanding client base.
In early 2016, construction commenced on a purpose-built 2,000m² head office and manufacturing facility in Wollongong, NSW – a significant expansion from the company’s original 400m² factory. The new facility was strategically designed to consolidate operations across multiple sites while providing capacity for continued national growth.
After careful consideration, CRS chose to keep its headquarters in the Illawarra region, supporting local industry while strengthening its position as a leading NSW playground manufacturer and contractor. The facility was completed in November 2018, marking a major milestone in the company’s evolution.
From this new manufacturing base, CRS proudly launched its own product range of 100% Australian-made playground and fitness equipment – KliX Play Structures (KliX).
Designed and manufactured in Wollongong, KliX quickly established itself as a trusted Australian playground equipment brand. KliX Play Structures is officially licensed to carry the Australian Made & Owned Logo, reinforcing its commitment to local manufacturing, Australian industry and nationally recognised production standards.
With full in-house design, engineering and manufacturing capability, CRS became not only a playground design and construction specialist, but also a recognised Australian playground manufacturer delivering high-quality commercial play structures nationwide.
Today, CRS provides complete playground design, manufacturing, procurement and construction services across Australia. Our experienced team of playspace specialists ensures full quality control at every stage of each project.
Safety remains at the core of everything we do. Every playground project is designed and constructed in accordance with Australian and New Zealand Safety Standards, with more than 300 types of risk and compliance inspections undertaken to ensure safe, durable and community-focused outcomes.
From service provider to national playground manufacturer, CRS and KliX continue to grow — proudly Australian-made, locally based in Wollongong, and committed to delivering innovative playground solutions across Australia.
CRS guarantees 100% satisfaction by delivering innovative playground solutions, backed by exceptional support before, during, and after the sale.
