We are play enthusiasts driven by the goal of creating play environments where children of any age and ability can play creatively and develop to their full potential.
Creating high-quality playgrounds that combine natural beauty, structural integrity, and intergenerational fun is what the Goric team strives to do.
Rick Henke, founder and president of Goric Marketing Group USA, Inc., has been dedicated to providing children with the most innovative play elements for the past 30 years. He is a key figure in developing exciting and challenging play spaces accommodating children to freely grow and develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
Pioneering the design of accessible outdoor play equipment for children of any ability, Rick was one of the creators of integrated playscapes. The founder and owner of Children’s Playgrounds Inc., he was instrumental in developing safety standards and guidelines for public playgrounds (CSA). He also introduced the now popular cable net structures to the commercial U.S. playgrounds market.
Rick has an engineering background and vast knowledge of American and Canadian standards. His compassion for children’s needs, his connection to the European play equipment manufacturers, and the support of great sales consultants form the foundation of his success story.
Quality and safety are priorities for us. Our full-time staff is CPSI-certified (Certified Playground Safety Inspector). Goric’s play equipment conforms to all current U.S. and Canadian standards and guidelines for public playgrounds:
