First Baptist Church McComb, Mississippi Upgrades Playground with FallZone Poured-in-Place Safety Surfacing

The First Baptist Church in McComb, Mississippi, has taken a significant step toward enhancing the safety and enjoyment of its community’s children by partnering with FallZone Safety Surfacing, the nationwide industry-leading authority for playground safety surface systems, to replace its 10-year-old, deteriorating playground surface. The church chose FallZone Poured-in-Place Playground Surfacing, a durable and customizable solution designed to provide a safe and vibrant play environment for kids.

Why FallZone Safety Surfacing?

FallZone Safety Surfacing has earned its reputation as the premier provider of playground safety solutions due to its 25 years of expertise, commitment to high-quality, eco-friendly products, and a mission to promote safety on playgrounds across the globe. Their surfaces meet and exceed CPSC, ASTM, and ADA guidelines, ensuring compliance with the highest safety standards. FallZone’s ability to customize designs—from school logos to interactive games like hopscotch—combined with their low-maintenance, durable systems, makes them the go-to choice for schools, churches, and communities nationwide. Their Poured-in-Place system, in particular, is renowned for its seamless, slip-resistant, and UV-resistant properties, offering unmatched protection against fall-related injuries, which account for over 70% of playground accidents.

A Much-Needed Upgrade for First Baptist Church Playground Surface 

The church’s previous playground surface, after a decade of heavy use, had become worn and unsafe, posing risks to the children who play there daily. Recognizing the importance of a safe play environment, the church leadership contracted FallZone to install their flagship Poured-in-Place Playground Surfacing. This two-layer system features a 100% recycled SBR safety base layer for shock absorption and a 3/4” TPV wear layer, the thickest in the industry, ensuring long-lasting durability and vibrant color options. The result is a soft, flexible, and padded surface that significantly reduces the risk of injuries from falls while creating an inviting space for children to explore and play.

 The Installation Process

FallZone’s team of certified playground surfacing specialists worked efficiently to transform the church’s playground. The old surface was removed, and a solid sub-base was prepared to support the new system. The Poured-in-Place surface was then expertly installed, with the safety base layer providing critical fall protection and the wear layer adding a seamless, colorful finish. The church opted for 50% blue 50% black color mix that complements the playground’s theme, incorporating bright colors and patterns to spark creativity and joy. The quick-draining, low-maintenance surface ensures the playground remains safe and usable in various weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for year-round play.

A Commitment to Safety and Community

By choosing FallZone Playground Safety Surfacing, First Baptist Church demonstrates its dedication to the safety and well-being of its youngest members. The new playground surface not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the play area but also provides peace of mind for parents and caregivers. As one church member noted, “The kids are thrilled with the new playground, and we feel confident knowing they’re playing on a surface designed with their safety in mind.”
