Kim Bybee, CPRP Parks Manager- City of Carrollton, TX

The City of Carrollton was working to build a playground in an area of our community that served lower income families.   It was part of a Community Development Grant we had been awarded so our budget was small, but we had a great location adjacent to one of our recreation centers.  I met with Greg from Whirlix and explained our vision for providing an interactive area that not only served our community, but also the pre-school classes that were offered at the recreation center.  At past conferences and in various Landscape Structure publications, I had seen the small loft houses and always wanted to incorporate those into our parks system.  We have Landscape Structure equipment in other areas of our community and they hold up very well with little maintenance so I knew they would be able to provide an economical option for us.  I explained my vision to Greg and they worked up a site plan that fit our budget (and vision) perfectly!  The installation was quick and the community has this new, amazing play space they can enjoy!
