Zoom Recreation

What Zoom Recreation does

Zoom Recreation, Inc. is a privately held commercial playground equipment and shade structure provider and installer headquartered in Irvine, California, operating exclusively as the planner and installer of Superior Recreational Products (a PlayCore company) across the entirety of California and Arizona. The company designs, engineers, permits, and installs commercial playground systems (traditional, themed, inclusive, and recycled-content structures for ages 2-5 and 5-12), commercial fabric shade structures (cantilever, umbrella, sail, hip, and custom configurations using 100% PTFE fiber fabric and 105 mph wind-rated steel frames), and permanent steel shelters (Gable End, Mini, Square, and Hexagon). Supporting offerings include playground surfacing (Engineered Wood Fiber, synthetic turf, rubber mulch, and the proprietary ZoomImpact pour-in-place rubber system), outdoor fitness equipment, athletic court construction (pickleball and tennis), and site furnishings (picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles). Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales model with local, CPSI-certified project managers embedded in nine metropolitan territories (Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Sacramento, Central California, Phoenix, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Francisco), supported by GSA Advantage, HGACBuy, and BuyBoard purchasing cooperatives that facilitate public-sector procurement. The company's revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, project-based professional installation services, three-tier subscription maintenance plans (Protection, Full Service, and Premium) bundled with annual safety audits and cloud-stored compliance documentation, and a five-day fabric replacement service for existing shade structures. Differentiators rest on exclusive territorial distribution of Superior/PlayCore products, a multi-state regulatory certification stack (CA and AZ Class A General Contractor, DIR Public Works Contractor, DSA pre-approval, LADBS certified fabricator, IPEMA, CPSI, ASTM, ADA, CPSC), proprietary surfacing and fabric-connector features, and recognition including Superior Recreational Products President's Award and Gold Club Awards.
