Quick Answer

San Marcos projects

San Marcos projects often involve new or replacement play equipment. The surface has to be planned around it: where each piece sits, how far its fall zone reaches, and how deep the cushioning must be.

San Marcos sits between Vista and Escondido, east of Carlsbad, along State Route 78. Sites include school campuses, apartment and HOA communities, and institutional grounds, each with its own schedule and approval process.
