Natural Playground at Myers Park UMC in Charlotte NC Video 2

Click here to watch the video The Myers Park UMC in Charlotte worked with us to design and create their new natural playground. The project design was the most intricate; as we knew those would be a major portfolio piece for the Natural Playgrounds aspect for Creative Playscapes. We had a lot of fun designing and building this very unique natural playground. Jon was really on his game when he drew this playground outline. I am always amazed at the skills my friend has and he really blew everyone away with this natural playground layout. Here are a few of the play areas Jon designed into the playground and as always, we encourage you to watch our videos and visit our website.

Charlotte Playground Project – Video 7 Completed Rubber Playground Surface

Click here to watch the video 7th and final video on installing a playground for The Williams Center in Charlotte, Jon has done a wonderful job of filming and narrating this series. We hope you enjoyed watching us install the safety surface and will check back later for more videos from Creative Playscapes. We are wrapping up the PIP (Pour in Place) playground surfacing, with the last of the sandy bordering surface. You can easily see the green EDPM surface around the climbing area of the playground and listen as Jon describes the Trike Path, to give the kids a walkway/roadway to guide them through the playground. Jon designed a trellis into this project for the kids to play under and add additional shade. This is the final day of the playground surface installation and completion of the project. We appreciate The Williams Center in Charlotte allowing Jon to video this project for our website

Charlotte Playground Project – Video 5 Blue Water Colored Playground Surfacing

We hope you enjoy this particular video where the colored EDPM is being installed. Click here to learn more about playground safety surfaces. We top off the rubber safety surface with the EDPM (Ethylene-propylene rubbers & elastomers) colored surfacing. This project incorporated “Hippos and Alligators” so we used a “Blue Water” colored safety surface to imitate the water these animals live in. The “water theme” used for this Charlotte playground is an excellent example of how we use our safety surfaces for more than just protection. Colored rubber safety surfacing has a plethora of uses: Add color Create a theme Add attractiveness to the playground Jon talks about a delay, notice how we were able to continue working and not delay

Charlotte Playground Project – Video 4 EPDM Rubber Playground Surfacing

Click here to watch the video This is video 4 of the 7 video collections on the process of installing a playground for The Williams Center in Charlotte. Jon is our videographer and narrator. We hope you enjoy this particular video where we are beginning the installation of the rubber safety surface. Click here to learn more about playground safety surfaces. The base of the rubber safety surface is being installed; we use a 1 ½” amount of base to add a more protective level of safety. Regulations vary, but we typically exceed the required amount of rubber base that is required for numerous reasons, mainly the safety of the kids. Jon describes the install and mentions the Ethylene-propylene rubbers & elastomers (also called EPDM and EPM); this is state of the art playground surfacing. EPDM is made of tiny rubber pellets, incorporated on the playground site with a urethane binder to form a playground

Charlotte Playground Project – Video 3 Playground Installed

Video 3 This is video 3 of the 7 video collections on the process of installing a playground for The Williams Center in Charlotte. Jon is our videographer and narrator. We hope you enjoy this video series. Click here to visit our website and view more playgrounds. In an incredibly productive week, the Creative Playscapes installation team has The Williams Center in Charlotte’s playground equipment erected and tested for durability. Numerous variables factor into the installation timeframe, especially the weather. It was a very pleasant week in May, which allowed us to work full time without interruptions and install the Charlotte playground in one week. We hope you are enjoying this series of the playground we are installing in Charlotte at The Williams Center; we appreciate their consent to record and publish this series. Jon is enjoying the process and being out of the office and has commented to me many times how he

Charlotte Playground Project – Video 2 Playground Equipment

This is video 2 of the 7 video collections on the process of installing a playground for The Williams Center in Charlotte. Jon is our videographer and narrator. We hope you enjoy this video series. Video 2 Here we see that the playground equipment has been delivered to the Charlotte site and we are ready to begin installation in the next video. All of our steel and aluminum playground equipment is powder coated with an environmentally safe (and child safe) coating, this coating not only adds colorful beauty to the playground equipment itself, it is a major deterrent for rust and a positive replacement for paint (especially the old lead based paint). In the next video of this series, Jon will describe the playground as it has been installed and the arrival of the safety surface materials.

Charlotte Playground Project – Video 1 Playground Base System

Check out this video series on the development and installation of a Charlotte playground! Video 1 This is video 1 of a series of 7 where we developed the playground site, installed the new playground equipment and finished with the rubber surfacing. Jon is our videographer and narrator. We hope you enjoy this video series. Jon describes the layout of the playground, including trike paths, slides and shade structures. He also included trees to be planted that will provide natural shade in the years to come. One aspect we/Jon prefer to include is natural foliage, vegetation and shade. In this project, Jon added several trees to accent the already existing trees (which Jon will describe in a later video) on site. #CharlottePlayground Safety Starts w/ Stability!
