Since its installation in 2024, the playground at Snow Rogers Elementary has been a daily destination for active play, imagination, and student engagement.

From climbing and sliding to social and creative play, this space continues to provide a well-rounded outdoor experience for students of all ages.

At Struthers Recreation, we don’t just build playgrounds — we create environments that communities rely on for years to come.

A fresh Gametime space for play in Carrollton 🙌

In 2024, we partnered with the City to bring a new playground to Carrollton City Park—creating a space where families can gather, kids can stay active, and the community can connect.

From climbing and sliding to imaginative play, this project was designed to support a wide range of play experiences.

We’re proud to help communities create spaces that make a lasting impact.

A few years ago, we had the opportunity to help create a fun and engaging playground environment for F.E. Burleson Elementary School in Hartselle, Alabama.

Designed for active play, exploration, and social interaction, this playground continues to provide students with a space to climb, play, imagine, and enjoy the outdoors together.

School playgrounds play an important role in supporting physical activity, creativity, and student connection outside the classroom, and we’re proud to help schools across Alabama create spaces that make a lasting impact.

A great splash pad experience goes beyond the water features 💦

Successful splash play areas also include:
☀️ Shade structures
🪑 Comfortable seating
♿ Accessible pathways
🌳 Nearby amenities
🛠️ Proper maintenance planning

Thoughtful design helps create spaces families can enjoy all summer long.

If your community is planning future park improvements, splash play can be a valuable addition to the overall recreation experience.
