Bio

Playground Medic, based in Hawthorne, New York, is committed to making playgrounds safe “through identification of hazards and maintenance of playgrounds.”1 They achieve this through playground audits or inspections, maintenance and repair of playground equipment, and seminars to train playground staff, day care workers, and teachers aides.

The Playground Medic business was started by Peggy Payne and Janet Kuney, who had previously been play equipment and surfacing sales representatives.
