Steve was able to take the vision in my head and make it real,recalls Rick. We’ve grown up in the parks and rec industry together, and Steve is the guy you can lean on. He wants you to learn and understand the process. You can rely on his team to come through with the product. Gen Rec’s support staff and customer service is unbelievable. The installation was easy and smooth, says Rick, who’s fortunate to have a talented, in-house install team. Steve trains our staff well, which helps us save money, allocating more funds toward equipment. We’re always able to build effectively under Gen Rec’s guidance. Their ability and knowledge of the playground and park world is just awesome.

Joe had included all the playful and thoughtful design details that other designers didn’t. It really stood out to us and tied the playground into the natural surroundings. He gave us a complete picture of what it could be and brought all of our ideas together.

First, we went on an adventure to visit a variety of playgrounds in the region. One that stood out to us was Gen Rec’s. We wanted a top-notch, state-of-the-art playground with quality equipment and surfacing. We also were limited with space, so we needed to use it wisely. Curtis helped us accomplish all of that. We enjoyed working with Curtis. He suggested that we have our church community build the playground with his supervision. We really appreciated this idea. It fit in with how we do things.

I’ve been very impressed with the personal service. From our very first meeting, Steve’s professional manner, understanding of our needs and working within our budget were an extremely positive experience. The quality of the equipment also keeps us returning for more!” “ Even with a limited budget, I think we got a great variety of equipment,” she says. “ And, as for the results, the children LOVE the new playground!

Andy helped us decide to place [our playground] in an existing parking lot. It was flat so no steps or elevation change was needed to make it accessible. Andy knew what would and wouldn’t work in the design. He made everything run smoothly.
