Playgrounds

This is a quote from the director of this facility: "You should see the breathtaking emotions of both the children and the staff after the installation of your products and services were complete. And you will agree that a beautiful playground expands a child's ability to value his own capabilities and celebrates others as well". Carol Hubner - The Gan Center for Children.

Here in the windy city of Chicago , Unity has installed our 2 ¼" thick "Play-Land" series in Blue to match the decor of the playground itself. As you can see, the oval shape was no match for our products to be cut and fit nice and tightly to give this playground a nice clean finished look. We thank the contractor for pouring the curb exactly to specification to sit flush with the remaining areas.

Rooftop playgrounds utilize our rubber surfacing in green to give everyone, especially children, the atmosphere that they are playing on grass. The owners have taken such good care of the existing playground equipment that they decided to leave it be and install new play tiles around it.

Here is a New York City School that has installed our 3" thick "Soft-Land" series playground surfacing blocks in Green. This is to give the children the atmosphere that they are playing on grass since everywhere you look in Manhattan has concrete or asphalt. Unity is taking the concept of "going green" to a new level.

After five years of New York City kids playing on this school playground. Both Unity and the school board decided to do an independent study, and inspection, of our playground pavers. Under and around the active areas such as slides and steps, our products were consistently the same throughout. In fact, everyone's results found no signs of wear & tear what so ever.

Here is an 11.000 square foot area that has installed our rubberized safety surfacing, flooring and paver products in an old parking lot that was converted to playground use and fenced in so children of all ages would not run onto the busy streets. As you can see, they used Green playground blocks so the red and yellow playground equipment would stand out for all to see and enjoy..

Your thinking; How can I use a rooftop for a playground? And the answer is....... Unity Creations, LTD . Passing a Class A fire test, wind up-lift, skid resistance test, drop test, etc, etc. etc, the choice is simple. We have installed hundreds of thousands of square feet of our material all over the world on rooftops, playgrounds, etc. At this particular jobsite, we have installed our 2 ½" thick Soft-Land series overlooking the George Washington Bridge , that's right, the George Washington Bridge . And man.......what a view as you can see from this beautiful picture that was taken by the property manager from the building next door and given to us personally by president of the property management company.

Like many urban areas, space is the most valuable asset one can have. Here is a school that was in desperate need of new playground tiles. After removing the old vulcanized mats that continued to fail inspection, Unity has installed there interlocking playground mats in Green. For this location we glued the interlocks together, glued the tiles to the ground and bolted them down as well. That's right "bolted". We are one of the only manufactures to offer this patented system.

This municipality decided to use our recycled rubber playground blocks over the traditional vulcanized tiles to reduce the pressures of shrinkage, a common problem that is seen in this virgin material. Our recycled products not only interlock, but they bolt-down as well. You would never know it because our interlocks and bolt-down capabilities are hidden within the product itself and counter sunk for your safety.

With the introduction of recycled playground pavers, vulcanized mats seem to be the thing of the past. Many architects, municipalities, engineers and designers are realizing that our recycled rubber mats hold up just as well. This application in Yonkers , New York is just one of several that is being completed in recent years. Call or e-mail us today to find out how our products and services can help you save money.

Here this 6,000 sq. ft. rooftop playground for this private school in New Jersey is giving the new meaning of going green. Green playground tiles were selected to give children the atmosphere that they are playing on the grass. During the winter months as seen in this picture in adds a bit of life and excitement to the area to help with the greenery. The "Before" and "After" pictures can be seen on our internet web-site as well.

A public school here in New York City has realized that "going green" requires them to use a recycled rubber product in and around there playgrounds instead of a virgin rubber product known as vulcanized mats. Here they used the color Purple, a rare color that only Unity has, which is the schools colors.

This school in New York City has decided that in order to "go green" they had to use a product that was manufactured from recycled tires and rubber, and not from virgin materials. Since our product is the only product that meets the current specification for interlocking with bolt-down capabilities, Unity Creations, LTD was selected as the manufacturer of choice. Please visit our: "Before and After" page of our website for more photographs of this installation.

This church in New York City makes an effort to use "green products", Unity was selected as it was the only company that could custom make there tiles to help prevent wind up-lift as well as meet the LEED points & credit requirements that was needed. 3 ½" thick Steel Gray was the color of choice here, totaling 5,000 sq. ft. Another rooftop playground totaling 7,000 sq. ft. was previously completed as well.

Here you see a 1,300 sq. ft. playground area in Newark, NJ. for this private daycare center using the "Play-Land" series. This area was architecturally designed with Blue and Black mixed to match the playground equipment as specified.

Ahhh yes, here you see our "Play-Land" series installed over a huge concrete slab, a problem for them in the past since loose filled materials gave way to hard unsafe surfacing below. If you look closely you can see we have installed this material using our famous "step & repeat" system to stagger the seams as if you were installing "brickwork." Notice the two ends in Black that look like teeth marks.

Here at this daycare center and school where they share the same yard for playground activities. They have decided to go with our green tiles - mats - blocks for the field with boxed areas in red that is especially seen under the stationary equipment. The other boxed areas are for movable playground equipment for much smaller children. Notice that everything from the boarder (concrete curb) to the regular ground is all level and uniform with no tripping hazards on or off the area.

Here is a playground area that has installed our interlocking safety surfacing, flooring and paver products after the pour-in-place application was rejected. Here we installed our "Soft-Land" series in green with highlights of red for a drop height of 12 feet since play equipment will later be installed to give children in this inner city the feeling that they are playing on grass.

Here is a large playground that has installed our safety surfacing, flooring and paver products using the interlocking "Play-Land" series in Terra cotta red and grass green. Notice the design pattern and layout that the architects, engineers and designers have chosen. This was done to break up the area to be life like instead of the traditional boring look of using one color. This type of design work was required to resemble the building features and to go along with the neighborhoods look. The ENTIRE area was surfaced to make it safe for anyone and everyone to enjoy. "Unity" can provide you with an architectural floor plan and layout to stencil your own area that would be unique to you and your area. Call us for further information on how to get a copy for yourself.

Here is another picture of the same playground area but from a different angle. Notice how nicely our tiles-mats-blocks are cut to fit snug around all the posts for the playground. This versatility is unmatched due to our "step & repeat" interlocking system which locks the products tightly together for many years of hassle-free enjoyment preventing any gaps and curling from occurring.

This commercial housing development and agency wanted to install a new playground for the children within the building as well as for the surrounding community. After another agencies recommendation and seeing this website to learn more about our products and services, they decided to use us (Unity) as the surfacing of choice to do our long lived reputation since 1987.
