Bliss Products Project in Planning

Upstate projects are supported through Bliss Products and Services, helping parks, schools, and towns turn early ideas into exciting fuctioning public spaces. I coordinate equipment, shade, surfacing, shelters, seating, sports and fitness, and dog park features to fit local requirements and real site conditions, with durability and upkeep considered from the start.

To get started, share the site location with me and any available photos or drawings, and the timeline you are working towards. Access, utilities, clearances, and footing considerations can be reviewed early, then available options can be narrowed down to a small set of buildable selections with the documentation needed for pricing and purchasing review.

Project photo note: use zones and fall heights are matched to the layout, with shade placed at gathering areas and surfacing aligned to the maintenance approach.

Popular Site Products for Upstate South Carolina

Planning in the Upstate often means accounting for heat, storm cycles, and foothill grades. I work with six high-demand categories that show up most often: swings and swing bays, slides and sliding hills, music and sensory play, outdoor classroom and learning spaces, inclusive play components, and spinners and motion play. Product selections are typically built around a few practical priorities: durable materials, realistic upkeep, and a scope that fits the budget.

Swings and Swing Bays

Swings are a simple way to add high-use play value in a small footprint. Browse swing bays and seat options to see what fits the space and the age group.

Slides and Sliding Hills

Slides create an instant focal point and help shape the flow of a play zone. Use these examples to compare slide styles and how they look in the wider playground layout.

Music and Sensory Play

Musical and sensory elements add inclusive, repeatable play that works at ground level. These examples highlight pieces that invite participation and complement larger play structures.

Outdoor Classroom and Learning Spaces

Outdoor learning areas create flexible space for small groups, lessons, and community programs. Use these examples to compare layout styles that pair well with shade and seating.

Inclusive Play Components

Inclusive components help more people engage comfortably at different activity levels. Look for examples like transfer points, ground-level play, and supportive seating options.

Spinners and Motion Play

Motion elements add energy and variety without needing a large footprint. Compare spinner styles and see-saws to find a look that complements the rest of the play zone.
Ready to move forward? Share the site location, timeline, and any must-haves, and I can organize a coordinated set of options for review, pricing, and purchasing. If timing is tight, quicker-ship paths can be highlighted so approvals stay on schedule.

Award-Recognized Design Examples

These award-recognized examples are here as design references from our manufacturing partners and the wider Bliss Products and Services network. I use them to compare layout flow, shade coverage, surfacing transitions, inclusive access planning, and long-term durability choices that hold up in real-world park and school use.

If a similar approach fits your Upstate South Carolina project, send the site location and your target timing. I will turn the idea into a clear, review-ready package with layout drawings, quantities, budget ranges, and current lead-time expectations that align with your purchasing process.

Interested in a similar approach. Share the project link or a screenshot along with the site basics, and comparable options can be packaged for review with budget guidance and a clear next step.

Feature-Focused Project Ideas

These examples are drawn from Bliss Products and Services projects across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic and are included as starting points. For Upstate sites, selections are checked against use zones, clearances, footing considerations, slopes and clay soils, and storm conditions so the next step reflects real site constraints and review requirements.

Site Amenities & Furnishings

Have a site in mind?  Share the address (or GPS pin), the date you are working towards, and any photos, drawings, or notes on what the space should include. Options can then be organized into a review-ready next step for pricing and purchasing. If the project is outside the Upstate, it will be routed to the appropriate BPS representative.
