Strongsville, Ohio wins BCI Burke Voltage playground contest
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (August 22, 2011) – A new playground will be installed later this year in
conjunction with grand prize contest announcement by BCI Burke recently. The City of Strongsville,
OH, was the lucky winner of the contest held by the playground manufacturer, with corporate
headquarters in Fond du Lac, WI.
“I was amazed when I received the call that we won the playground. All of our parks have playgrounds,
except this one, so the timing to receive this is perfect,” said Bryan Bogre, Strongsville Director of Parks,
Recreation and Senior Services.
Thousands of entries registered for the contest announced at the start of 2011, with only one honored
person getting the exciting winning call. The playground is from Burke’s new Voltage™ line, which
combines the durability and flexibility of a 3 ½” O.D. post system with the advanced design of both the
exclusive KoreKonnect® direct-bolt clamp system and EZKonnect® self-leveling deck system. Other
monthly prize winners in the Voltage playground contest received VISA gift cards and Apple iPods and
will continue to be selected each month through December 31, 2011.
“We are in the business of getting kids outside playing and moving. Voltage provides the ultimate in
high-energy fun and extreme value in playgrounds, and we are proud to provide this prize to the
Strongsville community,” said Tim Ahern, BCI Burke CEO/owner.
“We are continually focused on providing innovative ways for kids to be active and lead healthy
lifestyles. This helps us fulfill our mission,” he said.
The Voltage design features 8 play events with a capacity for 48 kids ages 5 – 12 and is valued at more
than $21,000. In partnership with BCI Burke specially trained playground consultants, Snider &
Associates, Inc., the playground, including freight, will be provided at no charge. It will be installed in

a full size football field, a practice football field and a pavilion.

A good school should have a playground like this where children can use the swings. I appreciate you taking the time to share a photo of such a lovely playground. By the way, I'm currently looking for assistance with admission essay help service for a homework project. This is advantageous to me because it allows me to complete my assignment more quickly. The extensive content on the website may be useful to all students.
