Testimonials

Great Product, Great People

The playground is perfect and the kids love it. Even my carpenters that installed it had good things to say. Great product and great people working with it.

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.

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 for our play areas . 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!

We LOVE our new playground!

“Our playground committee, made up of student representatives from grades 2-6 and a few staff representatives and myself spent considerable time determining the types of activities our students were familiar with and would like, yet at the same time having an element of uniqueness, and a focus on creative play and physical fitness… Tasked with the challenge to be innovative in creating a design that appealed to our students, Blue Imp did not disappoint. The new proposed design exceeded our expectations, and aesthetically, being able to be built in our school colors, our new creative playground is the envy of the community. Students are challenged to be creative, to develop fitness in a variety of ways, and there is always a ‘new way’ to maneuver across the equipment. From the designing of the playground, to the installation, to the follow-up service, we have been extremely pleased with all levels of service we have experienced. Thanks, Laura and Blue Imp, we LOVE our new playground!”

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.”

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! ”

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.

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!”

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.”

Hassle-free from Start to Finish

“When you are building a large-scale project, customer service is number one. Blue Imp worked with us hand in hand. They responded to our questions immediately, discussed options, explained all the details and guided us through the project from planning right through to the installation. The whole process was hassle-free from start to finish.”
