Saint Augustine, Fla. March 07, 2012

Americans with disabilities will soon have the ability to participate in swimming activities that may have previously been inaccessible to them. The updated 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards will require public and commercial facilities to include accommodations for entry and exit of pools nationwide by March 15, 2012.

The updated ADA Standards requirements will affect many of BYO Recreation’s customers. This is why they have included ADA compliant pool lifts with backs to their wide selection of products. According to ADA Standards, pool lifts that have backs allow a wider range of people with disabilities access to pools. The new access that pool lifts allow will change countless lives across the country.

“BYO is dedicated to accessibility standards,” said Bill Calhoun, president and founder. “The products we offer are ADA compliant because we believe that everyone should have access to recreational areas and the opportunity to have fun.”

National and local facilities can help increase memberships and programs by installing ADA pool lifts. Some of these programs are created specifically for different types of disabilities, which can range from learning and behavioral to physical disabilities. These types of programs offer a vast amount of benefits and can create opportunities for fun.

BYO Recreation added pool lifts to their selection in order to continue with their mission of creating Beyond Your Ordinary recreation spaces that everyone, regardless of physical ability, can enjoy.

Saint Augustine, Fla. February 21, 2012

Communities nationwide will now have the opportunity to “Create Play” for children thanks to BYO Recreation’s new program, the $1 Million Create Play Fund. Beginning on Feb. 21, BYO Recreation will match up to 100 percent of customer funds for selectplayground structures. The $1 million fund should help create at least 100 new playgrounds and thousands of happy children.

Playgrounds positively impact the lives of children all over the world. With decreasing budgets, many customers, including local parks and schools, struggle to provide playgrounds for their communities. BYO Recreation’s goal is to eliminate this struggle, fostering the creation of more play for children, families and communities across the nation. This is the core of the program and the reason why BYO Recreation is giving away $1 million in matching funds.

“Through the $1 Million Create Play Fund, our mission is to give every school, church or daycare nationwide the opportunity to afford a playground,” said Bill Calhoun, president and founder. “Play is an important part of a child’s development, and BYO is committed to helping create more play.”

Playgrounds provide numerous benefits for children, both mentally and physically. They encourage children to challenge themselves every day, making playgrounds a great educational resource for parents and teachers. The $1 Million Create Play Fund gives BYO Recreation’s customers the chance to create play opportunities for children by purchasing high-quality, safe playground equipment at an extremely reduced cost.

It started with a swing set. Bill Calhoun, our founder and president, built a backyard swing set for his children in 1999 and thus laid the foundation for what is now BYO Recreation. Over the past 13 years, we have grown from an idea to a full-scale, web-based recreation company and can proudly say that we offer our customers a lot more than just backyard swing sets. We decided to begin a blog in order to provide our customers and website visitors with information on recreation & playground equipment, as well as provide news and updates about our company.
