June is the month we honor our Fathers.

Dad's everywhere provide a stable protection you can count on in times of need. 

No Fault reflects this as our play surfaces provide the protection needed when it matters most!.

No Fault would like to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

This past April, No Fault attended The NACCP (National Association of Child Care Professionals) Conference at the Grand Hyatt in San Antonio, Tex. The targeted attendees were Childcare Directors.

There were 400 attendees this year. Most of those who attended stopped by the No Fault booth to hear about our playground surfacing and were excited to receive a Louisiana themed gift bag.

Jennifer Smith and Barbara Montagnino from No Fault were joined in the booth by our good friends and invaluable colleagues, Tracey Edgar and Josh Bailey of Recreation Consultants of Texas.

Thanks to tremendous teamwork, No Fault and Recreation Consultants of Texas were able to illustrate how these daycare professionals can provide their facilities with the best playground possibilities available.  

Tradeshow attendees lined up to get special Louisiana-themed goodie bags containing a praline and Cajun seasoning and hot sauce as a token of No Fault's appreciation for stopping by our booth.   

Teams of volunteers helped make history recently in Harrison County Mississippi. They came together to help construct what's believed to be the first handicapped-accessible playground on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and No Fault was there to provide its No Fault Safety Surface poured in place material. The seamless characteristic of the No Fault surface and its ADA certification are ideal for a project like this.

Thanks to Playscapes of Mississippi and Max Maxwell, who provided the well received play equipment, No Fault was able to assist with the perfect accompanying surface on this venture. The project is called, Bruce Ladner Memorial Park, where teams of volunteers carefully pieced together the Disability Connection Community Playground.

"Everybody is real excited about this. It's just something folks never think about. And Caitlyn and her momma opened my eyes a whole lot," said Harrison County Supervisor Kim Savant. Theresa Snell sparked the idea of building a handicapped accessible playground after her daughter, Caitlyn, found barriers at conventional playgrounds. "I have tried to take my daughter to the park numerous times with her little cousins that are the same age as she is. And there's no accessibility to be able to get to the equipment," she said.

This equipment is specially designed with disabilities in mind. It includes an interactive play station for youngsters with autism and a "flat sliding board." "Even if they're in a neck brace, on oxygen, or have significant disabilities, they can be put on one end. And if they have good arms, they can pull themselves along or someone else can roll them. So, it's like a movable slide. They cannot fall or get hurt," said Janie O'Keefe with Disability Connection.

Project Manager Billy Joe Kelly echoes the pride these volunteers feel. "Means a lot to be able to know that these children will be able to come out and do the same things that everyday children will be able to do. And this is the first of its kind in the area," he said. The project will not only benefit children with disabilities, but think about a wounded veteran in a wheelchair who'd like to take his able-bodied children to the playground.

Construction noise will soon be replaced with the sounds of children, all children, playing together. "Have awareness. And just let some kids have some fun," said Snell.The park opened on Friday, May 4th.
