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.

Professional Approach Was Outstanding
"The Blue Imp team was a pleasure to work with during our Rotary Peace Park Playground replacement project. Their expertise and knowledge in playground design made it possible to maximize the play value of this highly-used,  marquee playground within the City. As a bonus, they were able to offer play features that presented relevant local themes, such as dog sleds and a paddlewheeler.  We have received a large number of positive comments from residents regarding the new play structures. From design to installation, their professional approach was outstanding. We look forward to working with Blue Imp on future projects." City of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory
Play for All
"We are really happy with the new Blue Imp playground that was designed and built at our school by BDI Play Designs. We are a large school with over 500 students all of whom love to get outside and be active during recess times. Our new inclusive playground is great in that it is designed to ensure that ALL students can get on the playground. BDI designed the park with ALL students in mind and ensured that every student no matter what their abilities can play with their friends. Our new playground ensures that no students are left on the sidelines." Chris Good — Principal, École Barrie Wilson School
Above and Beyond
"Our school was fortunate enough to team up with Blue Imp to bring a new all accessible playground to our school and community. Blue Imp was able to put together our visioned playground that allows kids to run, jump and climb, as well as allows children of all abilities to find their place on the playground. The customer service we received from Blue Imp went above and beyond our expectations.  Professional, yet a personal feel that we knew that any questions or concerns we may have would be answered knowledgeably and with our students best interest in mind. We know the design and structure of our playground will be loved by kids and families for years to come! " Eastbrook Elementary School
