San Francisco

April 1, 2024

Zoom Recreation was hired in order to engineer, manufacture and install a twelve post, eight fabric shade structure. In addition, we installed the pavers and concrete work in the plaza.

The Challenge

This project entailed many challenges from engineering through installation. One of the largest challenges was in manufacturing, specifically, bending that center ring (5", schedule 40) properly so it aligned correctly.

Our Solution

Our manufacturing team tested out the center ring in the production facility, to ensure that the steel ring was properly formed to ensure the installation in the field would work on the first attempt. This risk management measure proved to be effective, allowing for no issues installing this in the field, with the help of our fantastic installation team.

Project Manager

As a former elementary school teacher for nearly a decade and as the son of an early childhood professor, I'm fully aware of the importance of play in the development of the youth in our communities across Northern California. Children develop socially, emotionally and physically when interacting with welcoming parks and recreation spaces. Being able to see a family enjoy a park that I helped design and see through to construction is the most rewarding aspect of my job. It's a special moment experiencing one of our new park's grand opening events and seeing all the hard work come to fruition.
