Bliss Products Project
I support parks, schools, and town crews across the Upstate, turning early ideas into public spaces that hold up to heat, storm season, and foothill grades. With Bliss Products and Services resources behind the process, coordinated packages are built so the final layout is practical, durable, and straightforward to maintain.

To get started, share the site location and a short brief on what the space should include, along with any photos, drawings, or notes you already have. Priorities can then be translated into a clear direction that fits the site and supports review, pricing, and purchasing.

From there, documentation and scheduling are coordinated so approvals and next steps stay organized. Cooperative contract routes and faster-ship alternatives can be discussed when budget or timing is a constraint.

Communities We Serve Across the Upstate

Parks, schools, and trailheads across South Carolina’s Upstate need products that perform through heat, storm season, and foothill grades. Planning is typically shaped by drainage, anchoring, surface transitions, and realistic upkeep, then built into a coordinated mix of play, shade, surfacing, shelters, seating, and sports elements that fits local requirements and purchasing review.

Grants & Funding Support for Upstate South Carolina

In Upstate South Carolina, funded projects move faster when the project scope and purchasing path are documented early. A program that comes up regularly is the South Carolina Parks and Recreation Development (PARD) Fund, administered by the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism (SCPRT). Counties receive allocations, and applicants typically file through SCPRT’s WebGrants system on a monthly cadence. PARD eligibility generally centers on planning, development, and renovation, not routine maintenance, so current rules and dates should be verified in WebGrants.

Accessibility & Compliance

Grant reviewers often ask about ADA access and inclusive design. Equipment, surfacing, and layouts can be organized around ADA and ASTM considerations so routes, transfer points, and use zones are clearly documented. Compliance certification is not provided.

Durability & Life-Cycle Value

Funders want long-term results. Materials, finishes, and installation approaches can be selected with Upstate heat, storm cycles, and freeze-thaw conditions in mind, supporting durability and realistic upkeep.

Community Impact

Programs look for broad use. Pavilions, fitness stations, walking loops, and bleachers extend activity beyond the playground and demonstrate everyday value for the whole community.
When PARD is the funding path, send the site address or GPS pin, the county, and the next submission or bid date, plus any required elements the project must include. From there, the scope can be mapped to eligible components and packaged for review with layouts, quantities, product data, pricing ranges, and lead times. Your team retains the application narrative and forms, while the product documentation stays organized for purchasing and reviewer evaluation.
