About Us

We are play enthusiasts who are fueled by the thought of children climbing endlessly on our exhilarating play equipment. We want to see all children of all abilities and ages playing in harmony together, growing as a community, with one goal in mind: climb to the next level. These children don’t think about the calories being burned or the muscles being developed, no, they are just thinking, this is FUN! That’s what the Goric team dreams about.

Our president and founder, Rick Henke, has been dedicated to providing children with the most exciting and challenging play equipment for almost 30 years. He has developed incredibly interesting accessible playgrounds and play equipment specifically for the developmentally challenged. He was one of the main players in developing the continuous play concept and still brings new innovations and ideas to our already comprehensive line of play equipment. Rick was a key figure in developing the Canadian Standards for playground manufactures. His main concern is, and has always been, to provide children with a safe environment to grow and strengthen physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. In the spirit of this tradition, Rick introduced the cable net structures, to America 15 years ago, -which had already been in use internationaly for 25 years. With his engineering background, vast knowledge of American and Canadian standards, atuneness with childrens’ needs, and with the help of great sales consultants, he has made these type of structures into a huge success with children and parents alike.
