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

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

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
