ANNOUNCING NAME CHANGE!

OUTDOO R AMENITIES

Pet and Playground Products Announces Name Change to Hercules Outdoor Amenities [Eclectic, Alabama] – Pet and Playground Products, a leading provider of outdoor amenities, has announced a name change to better reflect the expanded scope of their services. The new name, Hercules Outdoor Amenities, highlights the company’s commitment to providing a wide range of high-quality outdoor amenities for commercial and residential properties.

Hercules Outdoor Amenities is a subsidiary of Hercules Poly Incorporated, which started 30 years ago as a manufacturer of poly bags and eventually expanded to include domestic and international sourcing and warehousing. Over the years, the company broadened its product lines to include dog waste bags, pet waste stations, dog park equipment, fencing, and playgrounds. As the company grew, they realized they needed a separate outdoor amenities division; thus, Pet and Playground Products was born.

Through their work in the multifamily industry, Hercules Outdoor Amenities saw a need to do more than just sell outdoor products. They wanted to enhance the entire customer experience and provide a turnkey solution across the USA. They provide ready-to-use finished projects from greenspace design to sourcing and logistics. They take on the whole project giving their clients one touch point and one invoice. They expanded their services from dog parks and playgrounds to larger-scale projects, such as repurposing tennis courts, outdoor seating areas, fire pits, kitchens, games, shading, and more.

The name change to Hercules Outdoor Amenities reflects the company’s evolution and commitment to providing exceptional outdoor amenities for their clients. The new name will help clarify the company’s services and better represent their expanded offerings.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Hercules loves dogs, so we established our place in the dog park amenities market to celebrate this love. Dogs have always been integral to human lives, serving as beloved companions and protectors within our families. We recognize dogs’ invaluable role in many households and want to help you create a space where dog owners can connect and share stories while their furry friends play together.

We know you aim to foster a sense of community within your community where dogs and their owners can safely socialize and exercise. With the increasing popularity of dog-friendly communities, we saw an opportunity to provide a space for dog owners to celebrate the joys of pet ownership and ensure the well-being of their companions.

If you’re planning to make your multifamily community more pet-friendly, you’re making a wise decision. A whopping 68% of American households have a furry companion, with dogs being the most popular. Creating a dog park in your community will provide a comfortable and convenient space for your residents and their loyal companions. So, get ready to welcome more happy tails into your community!

“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”

WHY A DOG PARK?

WHERE CAN YOU PUT A DOG PARK?

Multifamily Housing

Student Housing

Senior Housing

Travel Centers & Rest Stops

Camping Environments

City & State Parks

Doggie Daycares

Pretty much anywhere!

A dog park in the multifamily, student, or senior housing environment can significantly benefit the residents and the business itself. Not only do residents enjoy the outdoors with their dogs, but they also get to socialize with other pet owners in their community, creating friendships and fun and offering a great place to live.

How can we see a benefit of a dog park for landlords and renters? :

Having a dog park as an amenity for your residents helps attract more residents and can be a deciding factor for existing residents to renew their leases. Dog parks in a community can lead to increased resident satisfaction and loyalty.

Pet-friendly apartment homes help to provide a great return on investment. While dog parks help increase the value of the property, it also helps create a community among residents.

At the same time, you can attract new residents and bring in additional revenue from pet-related services. Landlords and property managers can use this opportunity to build relationships with their residents and generate more income from pet-related services.

BENEFITS

In addition to the benefits for landlords and renters, pet-friendly apartments can improve the health and well-being of pets and their owners.

Surface Materials

When designing a safe and enjoyable dog park, the surfacing used is one of the most important considerations. It impacts the look and feel of the park and can also affect safety and comfort for both owners and their pets. Surface materials for dog parks come in various forms, from natural grass to wood mulch. Each has advantages and disadvantages, so choosing the suitable surface material for your particular needs is essential.

NATURAL GRASS

Natural grass is the ideal surface material for a dog park. It provides a safe and comfortable environment for dogs to play in and offers numerous benefits, making it the perfect choice for any dog park. Natural grass provides cushioning, drainage, and traction so your pup can run around without slipping or getting hurt. It also helps to keep the area clean and free of bacteria while providing a natural scent that will attract more dogs.

EWF-ENGINEERED WOOD FIBER (MULCH)

EWF is different from your typical gardening mulch in that there are standards for the type of wood used in creating the mulch. No bio-hazards or metal materials are allowed during the manufacturing process. It is a suitable surfacing that is easy on the dog’s paws.

SYNTHETIC TURF

Synthetic Turf is a popular alternative to natural grass. It offers some benefits to the dog park, especially if your park is a high-traffic dog park. Natural grass can become worn, and the natural grass becomes brown or even turn into dirt. Synthetic Turf allows for a durable, consistent look and feel in your dog park and offers an aesthetic curb appeal.

PEA GRAVEL

Pea gravel is a great surface material for dog parks, especially for those with small dogs. It provides a soft and safe playing surface that is gentle on paws and can be easily cleaned. Pea gravel also offers good drainage, which helps keep the area clean and free of mud or standing water. Additionally, it is an affordable option for dog parks, making it a popular choice among pet owners.

FENCING

Dog parks offer an excellent way for your furry friends to get some exercise and socialize with other dogs. To ensure the dogs’ safety, it is essential to have the correct type of fencing in dog parks. Different types of fencing can provide different levels of protection and affect how much space is available for your pup to play and explore. When considering the type of fencing, keep in mind your available space. This open space will determine how much room a dog has to run around. With proper consideration given to these factors, you can create a safe and enjoyable environment for the dog and people in any dog park.

ALUMINUM PICKET

Picket fencing is an excellent choice for creating an upgraded, safe and secure space for them.

Picket fencing is aesthetically pleasing and provides the perfect combination of security, visibility, and comfort for your pet. Picket fencing is ideal for those who want to create a secure environment for their dogs without spending too much time or money on the process.

CHAIN LINK

Chain link fencing is an excellent option for dog parks as it provides a secure boundary and can be easily maintained. Not only is it easily maintained, but it is the more affordable option in fencing type.

It is solid and durable, which makes it difficult for dogs to escape or dig underneath. It also allows visibility so owners can keep an eye on their pets while they play. Chain link fencing is also cost-effective and easy to install, making it an ideal choice for any dog park design.

DOUBLE GATED ENTRY

Safety is a top priority in any environment. Our approach to designing fencing for any potential dog park begins at the most natural start, the entrance. Effective dog park fencing arrangments typically use a double-gated entry. This entry design is a small fenced-in box at the park entry with a double gate system. Not only does it provide an extra layer of protection against potential hazards, but it also ensures that dogs are entering and exiting the park safely. Dog owners can enter the park, unleash their dogs, and enjoy the park at their leisure. It also helps to ensure added safety to help dogs contain their excitement (and themselves) within the park.

TENNIS COURT RE-PURPOSING

When looking at a tennis court to have repurposed on your property, it is usually located in some of the more advantageous and more visible areas. We view the tennis court as a blank slate with many options available. The space can be customized and repurposed to meet the needs of the apartment community’s demographic population and the budget allowed for the project. For example, an apartment community with a high population of young families may look at repurposing the area with a playground on one end of the existing tennis court and a dog park and sitting area on the other side of the tennis court. If your demographic is an older generation, such as baby boomers, you may consider repurposing the space with an outdoor kitchen area and outdoor games like pickleball.

Repurposing tennis courts can include playgrounds, dog parks, outdoor fitness, kitchen areas, seating areas, pickleball courts, and many other configurations. Redesigning these spaces can make them more attractive to potential residents while providing an enjoyable experience for current residents. Updated outdoor amenities make the complex more attractive and provide an excellent way for people to socialize and relax outdoors. Redesigning outdoor amenities can help create a sense of community within the apartment community itself.

Tennis court repurposing is one of the more popular amenities we offer. Over the years, we have consulted with hundreds of clients on their courts, with many

But why is the court repurposing such a popular request? At one point in time, tennis and volleyball were trendy recreational activities, making them attractive amenities for multifamily properties, parks, and other public spaces. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case, and what’s left are fading, cracked courts or sand pits, which translates into underutilized real estate. Removing concrete, asphalt, and sand can be pretty expensive. Instead, many people are looking to transform existing spaces into new amenities, breathing life into the area and increasing the overall value of their property!

It’s All About The Budget

The nice thing about tennis court projects is that we already have a good idea of the dimension of our workspace. Single and double tennis courts are standard in size, with some slight variations here and there. But a more necessary aspect of these projects is how much money is available for the space.

In our experience, the most significant factor for court repurposing projects is always the budget. Depending on the funds available, your options range from refinishing and painting the court for a fresh start to creating a playground and outdoor lounge space with artificial turf. The possibilities are endless.
