TJ: It’s just been a great boom for our place here in North Charleston.

TJ voiceover: And you know we try to keep up with some data on how many folks are using this facility. In the first 60 days we were open we had approximately eighty-one thousand people visit this playground out of that eighty-one thousand about eleven thousand came from over two hundred and fifty miles away.

TJ voiceover: So, I know when Landscape Structures talk about a destination playground this has absolutely knocked it out of the park.
