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.
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.

- Annual Safety Program starts at $1,195 per site
- Multi-site pricing available with coordinated routes
- Clearly identified report limitations and follow-up recommendations
Procurement ready

Before work begins, we can discuss insurance certificates, vendor paperwork, scope, reporting timelines and purchase order processes as relevant to your organization.
Public procurement rules determine how a public agency may engage vendors. A quote is not a substitute for a required formal selection process.
