The building my office is in is very large. We have a lot of people going in and out all the time. We sometimes have as many as two or three hundred people working there. With all these moms and dads coming and going, we sometimes have quite a few children there as well. It seems that every time summer comes around we have kids coming out of our ears. We decided that we needed to add some facilities to care for them while their parents are working.
We found a room where the kids could be supervised and entertained. We also decided to build something like those school playgrounds that you see all around. We had a nice little piece of ground that would be suitable for the task. It was a fun project to work on and I think the results were better than expected. We worked with a company called Rubberecycle that helped us with playground surfacing. They have many products to choose from and know their business well.
They have a special product made just for playground surfaces. It’s really just chopped up used tires but its makes for a nice safe base for the kids to play on. The parents like the fact that it’s safe and that it can made in many colors. Another aspect of the product is that it helps to recycle some of the millions of tires that are disposed of every year. The playground has been a hit with the kids as well as the parents and everyone seems to be happy. That’s the good thing about my job.
