Veteran-Owned Ohio Manufacturing
Simplay3 is a veteran-owned company based in Streetsboro, Ohio, a city in Portage County east of Cleveland in the heart of Ohio's manufacturing belt. The company designs and manufactures all of its outdoor play products at the Streetsboro facility — the design, tooling, molding, and assembly happen at the Ohio location.
Ohio has a long history of plastics manufacturing, and Streetsboro sits in a region where injection molding and rotationally molded plastics production has operated for decades. Simplay3 draws on this regional expertise and infrastructure in producing the durable polyethylene components that make up its outdoor play equipment.
Designed for American Backyards
Simplay3's product line covers the range of outdoor play activities that American backyards support: climbing structures with integrated slides, water play tables for summer outdoor play, seesaws, and playhouses. Each product is designed for the dimensions of typical American residential outdoor spaces — sized to fit through gates, manageable for two adults to assemble, and appropriate for the climates across the continental United States.
The Young Explorers modular system is the company's signature line — a climbing and activity platform that can be configured in multiple ways and expanded over time. The modular approach means parents can start with a basic configuration and add components as the child grows, rather than purchasing a single fixed structure that becomes age-inappropriate after two or three years.
Made in USA Outdoor Play
In a toy category dominated by imported products, Simplay3's Ohio manufacturing stands out as a genuine commitment to domestic production. The Made in USA designation appears on all Simplay3 products — not as a legacy claim from historical manufacturing but as a current, verifiable fact about where each product is made.
For parents who prioritize domestic manufacturing in their purchasing decisions, outdoor play equipment is a category where the Made in USA option has been difficult to find. Simplay3's Ohio manufacturing, veteran ownership, and complete domestic production offer a meaningful alternative to imported play structures. The products are built to American safety standards, tested in American conditions, and assembled by American workers.
