Building Community The Grove at Sunset Court complex in Brentwood has a new Landscape Structures playground, designed and constructed by Ross Recreation. Featured in Midstate Construction’s recent newsletter, the success of this affordable housing project highlighted the Landscape Structures play equipment, Surface America Poured-inPlace surfacing, and DuMor site furnishings. We continue to appreciate being a partner with both Midstate Construction and HWA Landscape on such design driven projects.
Creating a Rooftop Playscape: Transforming San Francisco’s Rincon Green Apartments
With sweeping views of San Francisco and the bay, the new, sustainably designed Rincon Green luxury apartments now have a truly unique play area. Ross Recreation’s Construction Services team worked closely with the Emerald Fund property management group to help transform this space to offer a setting for community members to gather and enjoy. “We had a very good experience with Ross. We started with only a few photographs of what we thought would be the playground we desired. Ross walked us through the design process, the budget process, and the construction process. Ross respected our existing landscape and was able to engineer around complex existing roof structures. Emerald Fund would definitely work with Ross again.”
- Jaja Jackson, Director of Property Management, Emerald Fund Situated in the heart of the revitalized South of Market area, this unusual project posed a number of challenges particular to urban construction. The play area, situated on the rooftop of the parking garage, required that no holes penetrate the waterproof membrane of the roof structure. We were able to provide a solution to do a skid-mount installation of the new play equipment and surfacing. Further, limited site access required extra mobilization and coordination efforts to get materials on-site. The dedicated focus on planning and communication made it possible for the project to be completed without complications and on time and on budget.

“Learning through play with ‘hands-on, minds-on’ approaches (not workbooks) is a powerful way forward. Play gives children space to dream, discover, improvise, and challenge convention. It’s crucial to social, emotional, cognitive and even physical development, helping them grow up ‘better adjusted, smarter and less stressed.’ We know this. So, where did play go?” (continue...)
