Ocean Athletics Track and Field Club

Ocean Athletics Track and Field Club continues to be grateful for the contribution made by Marathon Surfaces and Rob Sinclair to the South Surrey Track and Field Community.  Rob’s generous donation of time and product is greatly appreciated by not only the Ocean Athletics Club members and the South Surrey community, but also by the many other track and field enthusiasts who come to compete at the South Surrey Athletic Park track and field facility.  Ocean Athletics is looking forward to working with Rob and Marathon Surfaces in the construction of a track side fitness area and the refurbishing of the track facility.

I just wanted to pass along that Devin and your crew was great to work with and really professional in the repairs and interactions that I had with them. The install and repairs look great. We had a bit of trouble with some local kids removing the caution tape and damaging the repairs at one of the parks and Devin took it in stride and came back the next morning to redo the areas that needed it. We appreciate the cleanliness and thoroughness of the crew.

“The school community has been really pleased with this finished playground project and it’s a great source of pride.  We have observed some of the pour-in-place benefits in the durability, accessibility, and more visually appealing surface alternative.  Marathon Surfaces has been very professional, creditable and reliable in this project.  Thanks for supporting our project.”

“A massive thank you for accommodating our schedule and fitting us in! A massive thank you as well, to Barbara, for all her work she put into the design, scheduling, proposal changes, updates, photos, advice…..etc.
The finished product looks awesome!!! Couldn’t be happier! Please also thank your team of installers. Their creativity, attention to detail, installation expertise, and good old hard work are another reason why we love using Marathon to create unique and memorable playgrounds.  I have attached an email from Bonita Zarrillo, one of our councillors who took an especially keen interest in the project, passing on her first impression to the rest of council and senior managers. I’m sure they will all be raving about it at the grand opening on June 22nd. Even more importantly, the local kids, and parents will be over the moon!Thanks again for a job well done!!

“…we renovated our primary playground this past summer and it is fabulous. The children and families love it. Prior to the rubber surface the play area had pea gravel in it. Not only is it now much safer but quieter too. The surface has been easy to keep clean and tidy. The children enjoy the graphics and raised mounds in many different ways. Marathon was a dream to work with. They are very organized, professional, and creative.”

“…Every staff member that I dealt at Marathon Surfaces on this project was so helpful and understanding.  We are very pleased with the result; the playground looks fantastic.  I would like to thank Kate for her help with the design; Julie for being so understanding and flexible with the scheduling, Rob for managing the project and being hands on, Kevin who was a great on-site guy, Devon that did such a fantastic job translating the design to the layout and thanks also to the other guys working on the site.  Your team was very professional and I look forward to working again with you in the future.”

“…I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with all of the crew and the quality of work. This is the first poured in place in Sannich (and perhaps the Capital Region) so I was out there frequently with folks from our Parks Department and Rosemary Sutton from TSBC.  They were polite, friendly, and knowledgeable, answered all my questions, explained the process in detail, showed me samples of all the product and explained how it works.  They even took the time to wave at all the looky-loos in the weight room who were peering at them through the entire installation.  The whole process was wonderful and the finished product is stunning as you can see from the picture.

I hope this small project generates lots of interest here in both the product and your company.  Thanks so much for everything and please pass my comments along to Ben and Kevin and the rest of the crew.”

Track Surfacing

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend the services of Marathon Surfaces. Marathon recently resurfaced the running track at St. Thomas More Collegiate.  The work was done promptly and with essentially no inconvenience to the school and its staff.  Marathon staff were always pleasant and helpful. The work site was well maintained and when the job was completed the clean-up was thorough.   We are very happy with the work that was performed for us.

Sincerely,
Br. G. T. Bassett
