Your Trusted Playground Builder in Huntington, WV, and The Tri-State Area
A big shoutout and heartfelt thanks to Huntington Quarterly and writer Katherine Pyles for stopping by our headquarters at 111 W 8th Ave, Huntington, WV 25701. We are so pleased to see Latta’s featured in their Autumn 2024 issue. We’re thrilled to have our story shared in the community and grateful for the coverage! As we celebrate 93 years of serving the region, we’re excited to continue building play areas and educational spaces throughout West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky.
A Proud Legacy of Education and Play
Latta’s is more than just a business—it’s a family tradition. For third-generation owner Mike Mullarky, the company’s mission remains deeply personal. The company is grounded in a commitment to building spaces where children can grow, learn, and thrive. The Mullarky family’s connection to Huntington started in 1931, and Latta’s has since evolved into the region’s leading provider of commercial playgrounds and school furnishings.
Though Latta’s began as a beloved school supply store, it has since expanded its offerings to focus on designing and installing custom play areas and educational spaces. Today, Latta’s serves not just Huntington but also nearby cities in the tri-state area. Latta’s aims to build safe, engaging playgrounds and durable school furnishings for generations to enjoy.
Building Playgrounds with Purpose: From Schools to Community Spaces
Latta’s core services have shifted over the years to meet the needs of modern educators and communities. In 2017, the company closed its retail store and transitioned to specializing in school furnishings and commercial playgrounds. Today, Latta’s is thriving, offering a wide range of safety surfaces, durable equipment, and custom play areas for toddlers, children, and teens. From installation to maintenance, Latta’s is a one-stop solution for creating spaces that inspire play and learning.
Whether you’re a school, daycare, church, or hospital looking to upgrade your facilities, Latta’s has the expertise to design, install, and maintain playgrounds that meet the highest safety standards. Latta’s services extend throughout the Tri-State area, including cities like Ashland, KY, and Ironton, OH.
The Turnkey Solution for Playgrounds and School Furnishings
Latta’s has built a reputation as a turnkey operation, handling every aspect of a playground project from design to installation. Whether it’s a state-of-the-art play area for a school or durable seating for an outdoor space, Latta’s takes care of everything.
“We’ve always been about the kids,” says Mike Mullarky, reflecting on the company’s history and future. “At Latta’s, we educate, motivate, and play—it’s the Latta way.”
Investing in People, Investing in Communities
At Latta’s, the people who work behind the scenes are just as important as the spaces they help create. With a team of 10 employees, including those who have overcome personal challenges, Mullarky believes in second chances. The team’s hard work is seen in the playgrounds they build, as they continue to make a lasting impact in schools, parks, and other community spaces. “My guys love seeing the kids play on the equipment they’ve installed,” Mullarky says. “It’s their way of giving back.”
