Independent inspection-only service · Nick Farline, M.S., CPRE, CPSI · 35-county coverage by appointment

Public-sector operating reality

Reporting that supports the way parks teams work.

Inspections should help managers prioritize work—not create a document that sits unread. Founder Nick Farline, M.S., CPRE, CPSI brings more than two decades in parks and recreation, including nearly a decade as a director.

Consistent field records

Photo-based condition findings and recommended actions help organize response and capital needs.

Multiple-site scheduling

Coordinate routes across parks or districts where access, travel and purchasing requirements allow.

Independent inspection

PlayGauge does not sell playground equipment, surfacing, repairs or corrective work through its inspection practice.

Inspection scope

Baseline inspections and recurring condition reviews.

A comprehensive inspection provides a documented snapshot of site conditions within an agreed scope. A quarterly routine schedule supplements the owner’s daily and preventive-maintenance procedures.

  • Typical comprehensive inspection starts at $595
  • Annual Safety Program starts at $1,195 per site
  • Multi-site pricing available with coordinated routes
  • Clearly identified report limitations and follow-up recommendations
