Intensity – Fond du Lac, WI

A bold new way to play invaded the commercial playground market when BCI Burke introduced Intensity™. The innovative play complex is designed to address the ever-alarming rate of obesity and inactivity in children. The revolutionary Intensity design is aimed at motivating kids, parents and families to pursue healthy lifestyles and give kids outlets for exercise and play that keep them physically active and mentally challenged.

Intensity was developed by Burke playground designers to counteract the detrimental effects of the all-too-common sedentary lifestyles of kids, targeted specifically for the 5 to 12-plus age group. The components have a distinctive look and feel which is one of the elements that intrigues and challenges children of this age. Rather than traditional slides, decks and climbers, Intensity components are more fitness-oriented and challenging to include grids of rope to work muscles whether climbing up or down, spinners that promote flexibility and core torso strengthening, discs that call for balance and agility, gliders that promotes coordination, and many more. Another unique aspect of Intensity is that components are at ground level which creates unlimited access points and room for more kids to play.

Throughout the development of Intensity, Burke relied on the guidance of the best play experts in the world—kids. They were invited to come and play on the components and the Burke team watched their faces, body language and how it worked their bodies. What did they look for? Smiles. Excitement. Flexing muscles. Consistent pace. Determination. When they saw the kids eagerly moving on to the next challenge and coming back for more, they knew we got it right.

Intensity features 5-inch posts that use a proven bolt-through fastening system and the Burke renowned warranty including 100-year limited coverage on posts, fastening systems and hardware; 15-year limited warranty on plastics and 5-year limited warranty on cables.
