In the Imagine Playground project, Romtec designed, supplied, and installed a multi-user, multi-purpose structure at the Dublin Sportsgrounds in Dublin, California.
The Imagine Playground is a new playground in the City of Dublin, California, that was created to provide play structures and opportunities for people of all abilities and needs. The City went through great effort to ensure that this park would be an impactful facet of the community and worked with Special Education teachers, Little League groups, and residents of Dublin for input on the park. Throughout the play structures, signs posted include languages such as English, Spanish, and sign language to encourage communication between children of different backgrounds and abilities. The Park also features a public art piece that is “intended to emphasize our uniquely human ability to transcend difference and find common ground through conversation.” (“Imagine Playground at Dublin Sports Grounds”, 2021)
In addition to the park structures, the new park needed a restroom structure that would be as accessible as the park. To meet these needs, Gates & Associates, the Landscape Architect, brought the project to Romtec.
The Romtec supplied restroom building is a single slope structure with Evergreen metal roofing and glulam beams, and smooth face CMU block walls. The building includes 6 gender-neutral, ADA restrooms, a mechanical room, a concession stand, and a storage room. Each restroom is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair, and two of the restrooms also feature diaper decks to tend to young children’s needs. The Concession stand features a roll up window for easy access and hot water is supplied from a water heater stored in the mechanical room.
Romtec’s construction crew installed this restroom building onsite in our “turnkey” construction services that can save our customers money, reduce the number of contracts signed, and provide a greater peace of mind that construction will be a success. Our construction crew has built our structures all over the nation and are the experts at installing Romtec building packages. Imagine Playground was dedicated on March 6th, 2021, and the success of the project has opened up further opportunities for kids and adults to get outdoors and connect with each other.
