About Us

About Us

We know how kids play.

PlayWorks began in 1983 when John Kuby, a former elementary school teacher, and Phys. Ed. specialist became fascinated with how kids experienced playgrounds.  While designing BigToys playground structures for schools, he saw first-hand which components were used the most, where kids spent the most time, and what they valued as fun.  From this experience, a passion for playground design was developed.  

Over the years, John has closely followed the playground design trends. As a result, PlayWorks now represents many of the industry’s most innovative manufacturers.

The entire PlayWorks and ParkWorks staff shares the passion for play and playground design. It is what drives us do our best for our real customers: the kids.  

We have learned that we provide the best value when we:

  • Put children’s play experiences first
  • Work with our clients to make informed decisions 
  • Design effectively, with quality equipment, and provide a high level of service.

That is how we bring play to life.

In our 25 years, we have learned that it is our understanding of playground design as well as our relationships with you, our customers, and our relationships with suppliers, installers, and the recreation community that make our business successful. You can rely on our expertise and  the quality of our industry relationships to make your project a success.
