Playground Maintenance Company Serving the Midwest
School and park playgrounds endure a lot of things, from high-traffic play to harsh weather conditions, which cause normal wear and tear to the playground equipment and surfacing. To keep playgrounds looking beautiful in the community and safe for children and students, they require ongoing playground maintenance and repairs.
When playgrounds are not properly maintained, they pose potential hazards which put your school or park at risk of liability. The playground must comply with safety regulations to adequately protect children and yourself. As your partnered playground maintenance company, our Certified Playground Safety Inspectors (CSPIs) will evaluate your playground on a one-time, quarterly, biannual, or annual basis. We make the recommended updates to keep your playground safe and compliant.

Custom Playground Maintenance QR Barcodes
To improve playground maintenance services for our clients, we developed custom maintenance QR barcodes. They are placed on your playgrounds and allow community members and school staff to easily submit maintenance requests. We understand it is difficult to keep up with playground repair notices, so we’ve created a way to streamline the process.
If someone wants to submit a maintenance request, they simply scan the QR code placed around your playground and complete the short form. It will directly notify SafetyFirst and the school district or park. Our team will provide an estimate within 24 hours and when approved, we will quickly repair the submitted request.
