WHO WE ARE…

We are MAKRs – Our common goal, our passion, is to create global communities connected through play and social experiences. We believe the world needs more places where coming together, connecting, and having fun are inevitable.

The MAKR Group is comprised of three working brands dedicated to making the world more livable, playful and socially just—Waterplay, a cheeky global splash pad provider, Parkworks, a Western Canadian Park space supplier, and Wekid Mfg., Canada’s most playfully professional steel manufacturing team.

With 10’s of thousands of play and park space installations throughout the world, the MAKR Group have helped provide millions of people, from all walks of life, of all ages, and with diverse abilities, with access to amazing, inviting, playable, enjoyable, “go-backable” recreation places. What makes us jump out of bed every morning is knowing we’re integral to creating these meaningful places, and we need people like you to help us build them.
