The best tool for measuring in 3D
I've been using Moasure to measure playgrounds, and it’s been a game changer. Measuring distance and elevation simultaneously saves so much time—slopes that were impossible to measure before now take just minutes. I’ve also used the export feature to open drawings in SketchUp - excellent.

Great for irregular shapes
We install surfaces on many school playgrounds, which are rarely square and therefore difficult to measure accurately. Being able to export the area outline directly into a DWG file saves significant time and eliminates guesswork.

Powerful in-app tools for play and recreation projects
Utilize the Moasure app's powerful suite of tools and features to enhance your playground measurements.
Layers feature
The Layers feature is ideal for designing and maintaining playgrounds and recreational spaces, enabling users to separate and visualize aspects like equipment layouts, surfacing, and landscaping in one project. This simplifies planning, improves safety inspections, and streamlines maintenance.
Add labels & backgrounds
Label points of interest such as drainage, play equipment or recreational areas and overlay your measurement on an aerial shot of the area to help clients or colleagues visualize your projects.
Surface Mesh view
This view generates a 3D surface map based on the measured area’s shape and elevation data, offering an accurate representation of irregular terrain. It’s particularly useful for applications where terrain and elevation variations impact planning and compliance.
Cut & Fill tool
Calculate the volume of material needed to excavate (cut) or add (fill) to achieve the desired site level for playgrounds and recreational areas. Set your preferred level and instantly view the required volume adjustments. The 'zero net volume' feature identifies the precise level to aid material movement, ideal for site leveling.
Topography / Contour view
The contour view provides a 3D visualization of the site’s topography. By capturing elevation points across the terrain, Moasure creates contour lines that show gradients and elevations. This helps you understand site slopes and visualize the entire area, aiding in planning and material requirements.
View in 3D
Moasure captures the elevation of every point and generates a model of your measurement in 3D space. Impress your clients as Moasure instantly and automatically draws the area for you.
Add Depth tool
Designed for estimating material volumes based on specific depths, this tool calculates how much material (like mulch, soil, or sand) is needed to cover a given area at a set depth. It’s effective for both flat and sloped sites, helping you avoid overestimating material costs and ensuring precise coverage.
Organize your files
Save your Moasure files and organize them into folders, all within the app. Ideal for easy reference, simply access your measurements anytime you need them – Moasure’s organized file system streamlines your workflow and ensures quick access to your work.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Moasure for playgrounds and recreation
Moasure is an excellent tool for measuring irregular and uniquely-shaped play areas, including those with curves and freeform designs. With specialized path types tailored for measuring curved edges, Moasure enables you to trace the perimeter of the area with ease. As you move along the edges, the device accurately captures the dimensions and generates precise calculations in real time. This makes estimating the size and layout of playgrounds quick and straightforward, ensuring you have reliable measurements for planning or installation projects.
Moasure can create a detailed map of your playground layout, including all its unique features. With Moasure’s advanced Layers functionality, you can map out different elements of the playground—such as pathways, play structures, seating areas, and landscaping—on separate layers. This allows you to visualize the entire playground in a clear and organized way, helping you to better plan, design, or present the space. Whether you're designing a new playground or analyzing an existing one, Moasure ensures every detail is captured accurately. You can even name these layers and add labels to clearly identify each area, making your playground map easy to understand and present.
Moasure is designed to handle sloped or uneven terrain, making it perfect for mapping playgrounds with elevation changes and gradients. Unlike traditional measurement tools, Moasure uses motion-based technology to capture accurate measurements in all dimensions, including elevation. This ensures that your measurements reflect the true dimensions of the area, helping you plan and design with confidence, even on challenging terrains.
Moasure can be used to support you with playground installation measurement tasks. Using the tool, you can gather the required dimensions of your site to help plan and design the play area, including the overall area, perimeter, volume, and more. You can also use Layout Mode (exclusive to Moasure 2 PRO) to locate and mark points based on inputted x, y coordinates to plot your play spaces, picnic areas, etc. on site, before any surfacing or installation works take place.
Moasure can significantly help reduce errors that lead to material waste during playground and park projects. By providing precise measurements of areas, perimeters, and distances—even for irregular shapes and sloped terrains—Moasure ensures that you have accurate data for planning and material estimation.
This precision minimizes the risk of over-ordering or under-ordering materials, such as rubber surfacing, turf, paving stones, or other playground essentials. By eliminating guesswork and reducing measurement inaccuracies, Moasure not only saves you time but also helps lower costs associated with wasted materials, making your playground and park projects more efficient and sustainable.
Moasure simplifies the planning process for playground installations by providing precise area and perimeter measurements, making it easy to fit equipment and structures accurately. With Moasure, you can quickly trace the edges of the playground, even if the layout includes curves or irregular shapes. The device calculates the exact dimensions in real time, eliminating the need for complex calculations or additional tools.
By streamlining the measurement process, Moasure saves time and reduces errors, ensuring you have the data needed to optimize the placement of equipment, pathways, and other features. This accuracy and efficiency make Moasure an invaluable tool for planning and installing playgrounds of any size or design.
Moasure’s Point-to-Point measurement feature streamlines slope calculation, making it a swift and efficient tool for planning accessible routes and pathways in play areas. By calculating the distance and gradient between two points with precision, Moasure enables you to design smooth, compliant ramps, walkways, and other wheelchair-accessible features effortlessly.
Simply place your Moasure device at the starting point, move to the next point, and pause to let the app calculate the distance, elevation change, and slope in real time. This ensures accurate measurements of slopes, gradients, and irregular surfaces, helping you meet accessibility standards while creating a safe and inclusive environment.
Yes, Moasure is ideal for measuring other play areas like skateparks, pump tracks, and trails. Its motion-based technology allows you to accurately measure curved edges, slopes, and complex layouts, making it perfect for these dynamic environments.
or skateparks, Moasure can map ramps, bowls, and transitions with precision, while for pump tracks and trails, capture x, y, and z coordinates to ensure accurate measurements for winding paths, complete with elevation changes. This makes it an invaluable tool for planning, designing, or analyzing these spaces, reducing guesswork and improving project efficiency.
