Kay Park Recreation is Now Powered by 100% Solar Energy!

Kay Park Recreation is proud to announce that our entire facility is now powered by 100% solar energy, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Janesville, IA — Kay Park Recreation, a leading manufacturer of commercial-quality outdoor furniture and equipment, is excited to announce a major milestone in its commitment to sustainability through the ‘From Sun to Spark’ initiative. Beginning September 14, 2024, the company’s entire operation will be powered 100% by solar energy. This transition represents a crucial step in Kay Park’s ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and promote environmental stewardship.

By harnessing the sun’s power, Kay Park is ensuring the sustainability of its operations and setting a new standard in the industry for environmental responsibility. This shift to solar energy will drastically reduce the company’s reliance on traditional energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping preserve natural resources for future generations.

“We are thrilled to reach this milestone,” said Carlos Albino, Kay Park Recreation’s Global Marketing Director. Our ‘From Sun to Spark’ initiative reflects our commitment to creating a sustainable future for our community, our customers, and the planet. We believe this move will inspire other businesses in our industry to consider more sustainable practices.”

Kay Park partnered with Current Renewable Efficiencies, a West Des Moines-based solar energy supplier, to install solar panels across its facilities. Their Shell Rock Operations Office led the project, handling the comprehensive design and engineering work. The installation included 638 modules, generating 438,046 kWh annually to power Kay Park’s manufacturing, administrative, and operational functions.

In addition to the environmental benefits, the shift to solar power is expected to yield significant long-term cost savings, which will enable Kay Park to continue offering high-quality products at competitive prices.

Kay Park Recreation has been at the forefront of providing ADA-compliant and eco-friendly outdoor furniture and recreational equipment for 70 years. This latest initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the company’s sustainability efforts, including reducing waste, using recycled materials, and improving energy efficiency across all operations.

As the company embarks on this new chapter, Kay Park remains dedicated to delivering top-tier products while being a responsible steward of the environment.
