In early 2010, Richland County Parks in South Carolina evaluated competitive offerings from outdoor equipment manufacturers and solution partners. As a Miracle representative, Churchich Recreation & Design was able to utilize very competitive pricing that Miracle offers because of its unique manufacturing approach. By the end of May, Churchich Recreation will have provided a complete, turn-key solution, including the equipment, wood fiber, timbers, installation and storage during preparation, for 7 park upgrades throughout the Richland County Park system. The playgrounds were designed to be “ADA ramped” which means that wheelchairs can access almost all parts of the structure because of low grade ramps that connect the play events. All playgrounds must meet ADA requirements but not all have to be ADA ramped.

Mt. Pleasant Academy was the first of several and now ongoing projects that Charleston County School District is completing through new construction and renovations.
Charleston County partnered with Churchich Recreation on all of these projects to reduce time and effort in the bidding process and to maintain consistency across all of the schools. By purchasing off the Beaufort County Schools existing contract, CCSD is able to receive the same discounts and product selection without the hassles of RFP’s or bidding each project. Churchich Recreation has worked in partnership with each of the principals, construction management teams and contractors to ensure timely delivery and installation of each of the playgrounds. Mt. Pleasant’s playground was a little unique in that 30% of it was funded by the PTA on top of what the district was already allowing for. The playground is a combination of a traditional Miracle structure along with new motion related individual play pieces from Xccent that have proven to be a real hit with the kids.
