The Village of Allouez (near Green Bay, Wisconsin) asked adventureTURF to add an extension to their current play space with a playground surface expansion. Optimist Park hosts The Allouez Optimists Miracle League of Green Bay. This league provides kids with mental and/or physical challenges, an opportunity to play baseball as a team member, with real uniforms, in an organized league, regardless of their capabilities. The playground area, which is called The Favre Family Miracle Recreation area offers a handicap-accessible playground. Incidentally, the playground is named after its major contributors, Deanna and Brett Favre (of the Green Bay Packers).

Immanuel Lutheran School in Batavia, Illinois, needed to remove woodchip playground surface and replace its playground surface. They decided to replace the wood chips with a poured rubber playground surface that was both safer and (Americans with Disabilities Act) ADA compliant. The playground was located in a small courtyard area underneath play equipment in the corner of a larger space. Woodchips were used as the existing surface. While these are often cheaper initially, they tend to cost more in the long-run. Woodchips are also not ADA compliant and not safe for all children. Read our article about playground woodchips.
