Dennis voiceover: It does start with our local distributor which is Athco and Brad Moore. His firm really works hard with us. They work hand in hand listening to sometimes our crazy ideas and thoughts and processes and then takes that back to Landscape Structures and you know, really, they do a great job of providing designs. Working through the processes as we say we like this, don’t like that willing to make those changes. What you get is an end result that is very popular in your community. We feel very confident with the equipment that we get from Landscape Structures. It’s very high quality equipment literally if we have an issue they’re very responsive which is always important. They’ve walked hand in hand with us through some of the challenges that we’ve had. Helped us make adjustments that we needed to and I think all that’s important having a strong partnership with amongst your local distributor, your manufacturer, and your park department.

Burrus Old Mill Park is home to a jungle-themed playground. A custom PlayBooster® playground tower mimics a large tree with custom panels and leaf-like roofs. Once kids ages 5 to 12 reach the top, they can lookout at the activity below using the telescope before taking the thrilling ride down one of the slides. In addition to the tower, the inclusive play structure is packed with playground nets, activity panels, climbers and lots more. An additional playground structure was included in the design as well as a We-saw™, Palm Tree post toppers, SkyWays® commercial shade structures and custom unitary surfacing to help carry out the jungle theme.
