A few years ago, we had the opportunity to help create a fun and engaging playground environment for F.E. Burleson Elementary School in Hartselle, Alabama.

Designed for active play, exploration, and social interaction, this playground continues to provide students with a space to climb, play, imagine, and enjoy the outdoors together.

School playgrounds play an important role in supporting physical activity, creativity, and student connection outside the classroom, and we’re proud to help schools across Alabama create spaces that make a lasting impact.

This church youth courtyard remodel transformed an underused outdoor area into a welcoming space for connection, recreation, and community. With new synthetic turf and updated gathering areas, the space is ready for youth activities, fellowship, and everyday outdoor use.

At Struthers Recreation, we create more than playgrounds — we help build outdoor environments where communities come together.

Shade helps play last longer. ☀️

When playgrounds and recreation spaces stay cooler and more comfortable, families stay longer, children stay active, and communities get more use from their outdoor spaces.

From playgrounds and splash pads to picnic and fitness areas, shade structures help:
✔️ Reduce heat
✔️ Block harmful UV rays
✔️ Improve comfort
✔️ Extend outdoor activity time

Smart recreation design goes beyond the playground itself — comfort matters too.
