Sneak Peek of Boeddekker Park- A Tenderloin gem

BoeddekerPark-Sculpture-11.05.14-550WM



The Grand Opening of Boeddeker Park is on December 10, 2014 from 1-4pm. The park is located in the Tenderloin at 246 Eddy Street in San Francisco.* Why are we so excited about this park? Because most of the hardscape is our Fine Grain Pervious Concrete! And it looks gorgeous!

We hope you swing by to check it out, either on the 10th or sometime after. It has exercise equipment for adults, play equipment for children and seating and grass for general playing. It is a lovely open oasis in the middle of the Tenderloin. For more information about this park click here to go tot he SF recreation department page on the celebration.

When it dries out a bit, we will be posting more photos, so come on back!

Santa Cruz loves Pervious Concrete

....for park multi-use trails!!

06-BroadwayBrommerPath-550WM

While we know pervious concrete is a great multi-use trail material, the City of Santa Cruz did some serious research before they settled on pervious concrete for the Arana Gulch multi-use trail project. They needed something that is safe and non-slip in all weather conditions, accessible in all weather, protected water quality, was permeable, low maintenance, and looks the part- clearly pervious concrete! Here is the original blog post, I don’t need to quote them further. Great work, Santa Cruz!!

More great work: they hired BAPC to install it. Above you can see an ‘under-construction’ photo of the Broadway Brommer Arana Gulch path that we are installing. Some parts are opened, but isn’t quite complete, but when it is, we will post more photos. If you use the Arana Gulch Broadway Brommer Multi-Use path that is currently open this summer, send us your photos, and we would love to post them!

Commodore Park in San Jose is now ready for a Frisbee!

San Jose’s newest park features a colored pervious concrete path going around the park! And it is finally open! Time to load up the family, grab the frisbee and explore this great new space. It has children’s playground equipment, adult’s exercise equipment, picnic areas and a grassy expanse, all accessed by ADA friendly pervious concrete. It is a lovely space to spend the day.
