Cornell Elementary School

SPEC provided a new Burke playground with Corkeen surfacing for Cornell Elementary School in Albany, CA. This bright lively playground provides a mix of sliding, balancing, spinning and climbing.

Corkeen fall protection surfacing available through SPEC Play is made from Cork which is a 100% natural, recyclable, renewable raw material. Cork, hypoallergenic by nature, remains odor-free even under high temperatures. Its natural insulating properties enable a surface temperature reduction of over 20% compared to certain synthetic alternatives, ensuring children can play comfortably even on scorching days.

This firm surface also guarantees that Corkeen remains an inclusive system, offering complete accessibility, including wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
