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
Perfect Partner
"Lakehead District School Board through capital investment has been selecting sites that require new playground equipment. Our Board has found the perfect partner in Blue Imp. Their team has worked tirelessly with Board stakeholders to create, design and modify playground equipment unique to each school. Much time and attention to detail was given to every aspect. Being in a northern climate meant our Board needed quality, functional equipment and we determined Blue Imp checked those boxes. From planning stages, to coordinating delivery and installation, Blue Imp staff provided a comprehensive and organized plan. Their friendly sales team took the time to follow up with each location making sure everyone was satisfied and they met all of the requirements. Lakehead District School Board would recommend Blue Imp’s products and services to any organization. Everyone involved was extremely pleased with the outcome from start to finish!" Lakehead District School Board — Thunder Bay, ON
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
