What are other benefits/advantages of contracting with Burke?
BCI Burke is a long-standing provider of play, playgrounds, outdoor fitness and recreation equipment with more than 100 years in business. We continue to evolve our products, designs and processes to bring the best in play to the communities we serve. Between Burke and our Representative partners, we provide a wide array of services including site analysis, playground design, grant database, fundraising kits and, perhaps most importantly, research-based products that help children, families and communities get and stay active outdoors. We do this with a passion and love for play that shows in our work. Whatever the size or scope of a project, we will provide a solution that is on time and on budget.
Our designs and products are influenced by primary, secondary and observational research. We partner with leading institutions to research how play helps children develop and what types of play influence different ages and abilities. Most importantly, how to put it all together in both product and space design. This helps us be the best partner for you – someone you can count on to be a resource. We provide beautiful 3D renderings of playgrounds for our customers to help them visualize their space and raise funds if needed.
Play That Moves You® is the driving force behind all that we do. It’s getting and keeping kids, families and communities moving and providing a place to gather and engage. This infiltrates everything we do every day – the products we bring to market, the people and Representatives we
partner with and the recreation spaces we design. It means we bring Burke Built® Quality to the game because spaces can’t move people if they aren’t functioning. Burke’s playgrounds are handcrafted by artisans in Fond du Lac, WI using high quality materials, including compounded plastics with UV-20 and aluminum connectors to protect your investment. Burke’s exclusive KoreKonnect® direct-bolt clamp system is the very best in the industry and our EZKonnect® system features a self-leveling platform design that eases installation. Our quality is backed by the Generations Warranty® that protects your investment for years to come.
Our online resources provide guidance to our customers in fundraising, playground planning, grant searches and product information. We share videos to help customers connect with our products and understand the events they want for their space. Our Burke Fitness App, designed with certified trainers, helps users get the most from their workouts and make sure all equipment is being used properly. The Biba® App is an incredible way to foster intergenerational play and engagement on any Burke and Biba playground or, Biba can be used to enhance an existing playspace and bring new life.
Playground safety is of the utmost importance for us and we demonstrate that in a variety of ways. We offer a free Safety Kit with every modular play structure order. Written and developed by the National Program for Playground Safety, this kit teaches playground supervision to teachers, caregivers, parents and volunteers. Maintaining your play area is a must for playground safety. Your new Burke modular play structure comes complete with a free Maintenance Kit to help keep your playground providing community fun for years to come.
