- Cleveland-Lorain-Elyria, OH (1888PressRelease) September 02, 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 ˝" 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.

In partnership with BCI Burke specially trained playground consultants, Snider & Associates, Inc., the playground, including freight, will be provided at no charge.
