The Friendship Bench (or Buddy Bench) is a popular item on school playgrounds. The idea is simple. When a child feels lonely, they can sit on the Friendship Bench. This signals to other kids that they are feeling isolated. Ideally, another child will notice them, sit beside them, talk to them and invite them to play.

Everything We Dreamed Of
"We came to Blue Imp with the goal of creating a playground that was accessible and playable for our young student with cerebral palsy. Blue Imp toured sites with us, showed us the possibilities and designed a structure that is fun and exciting for all our students. It’s everything we dreamed of." Rachel Schortinghuis — Barnwell School Playground Committee
The Way to Play!
The team at Blue Imp has always gone above and beyond with their customer service. From the beginning of our tendering process for our first playground with Blue Imp to the installation of our second playground with them, we have always felt well taken care of. Their design team has been able to take our ideas and craft them into amazing imagery, turning these ideas into a reality. We love the multitude of colours and themes we were able to choose from that met our style choices. Blue Imp was also able to provide us with a variety of equipment that has been well received and engaging for many age groups in our community. When we expressed our need for accessible play items, they were able to deliver. The installation team has always been “in and out” quick, professional and good communicators on their needs. Throughout the installation process and afterwards the team at Blue Imp has always communicated with us to ensure that we are satisfied with the finished product. Blue Imp is the way to play! Jamie Hussey, Clerk Treasurer Township of Pickle Lake, Ontario
Exceeded Our Needs!
We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Blue Imp. Our organization had zero experience putting in a park and our consultant led us step by step, working with our budget to achieve the greatest fun for local kids at a price we could afford. He listened to our goals and concerns, and helped develop a plan that not only met, but exceeded our needs. Blue Imp equipment not only functions perfectly, but looks amazing!  The variety of colors we chose are exciting and the children in the community are thrilled. From the first to last step, we had total support from Blue Imp. We relied on their expertise and professionalism, and highly recommend them to any organization looking to upgrade or design and install a new park. Jody Phillips, Dunmore Community Association
