Dippty-Do-Dah

St. Augustine, FL (PRWEB) August 16, 2011

The “Beyond Your Ordinary” playground group recently completed the design and delivery of two large play areas at All Stars Family Grill in Katy, Texas. BYO Playground is a worldwide commercial playground equipment dealer headquartered in St. Augustine, Fla.

“Being a family-oriented business, the playgrounds are everything,” said Tony Orlando, owner and operator of All Stars Family Grill. “I knew the playground was my hook. It sets me apart from the competition. I needed a reputable company to make it work.”

According to Orlando, he designed his restaurant specifically so that parents can have a delicious and enjoyable dining experience where their children are welcome. The two outside play areas are separated by age group with one 1,800 square-foot patio area featuring a play structure for toddlers while the larger 2,200 square-foot area features equipment for the older kids. The custom 5-12 year old play structure, named the “Dippty-Do-Dah,” was developed with Orlando’s desire for a spiral slide and a rock climbing wall in mind, and enough challenge and interest for an older demographic. Both playgrounds are adjacent to outdoor seating and big screen televisions.

“A lot of dining decisions are made around where you can take your kids,” said Orlando, who owned a sports bar until he had children of his own. “We want our guests to be able to enjoy the great food we have here and know that their kids are welcome. Many restaurant concepts are about moving people in and out. We are about getting people in and letting them hang out.”

To help realize Orlando’s vision, BYO representative Kerry Hoff and an in-house design team spent several months developing a themed outdoor play area, using architectural plans for the restaurant to determine dimensions and optimal placement. The ability to customize play structures enabled the BYO team to devise a creative and workable solution in a narrow, elongated space along the side of the building. Artificial playground turf was used for quick drainage and drying.

“Tony is very passionate about providing a safe and fun experience for kids,” Hoff said, noting that Orlando purchased child-size tables from BYO and placed awnings on the building to help keep the play equipment cool and dry.

“Because we offer so many different varieties of products and options, we really enjoy projects where there is room for a lot of creativity,” Hoff said. “We also love working with clients like Tony who have a unique vision and share our passion for providing safe and entertaining play areas for children and families.”

Orlando was pleased with the customer service from BYO, and after nearly ten weeks of business, is confident his investment is paying off.

“We have something for everyone,” Orlando said. “People come in and they are having a great time. Everyone’s happy with it. They just knocked it out of the park.”

According to Orlando, the play structures were among the first projects completed during the construction of his restaurant. “As colorful as it is, the playground out front is basically our advertising,” Orlando said.
