Playground Equipment at Appletree Day Care, Raleigh, North Carolina

But that posed certain challenges, requiring that parking lot be torn out and drainage installed. She teamed up with Burke representative John Barrs, who stepped up to the challenge and helped figure out the logistics of the site before using Burke’s proprietary EZ Design technology to produce a Voltage playground similar to a playground Driggers saw in a day care catalog. “Carolyn knew what she wanted. We tore up the existing parking lot and fitted the site with proper drainage and turf to prevent pooling whenever it rains. Then we worked to create a playground that the kids would enjoy,” said Barrs. The result was a play area complete with three slides, a drum panel, a chime panel, an ABC panel, and a telescope with steering wheel. Plus, the Atom Climber and Coil Climber help the kids gain strength and increase balance. Now, the children have a fun, interactive area where their imaginations can run free!
