Corporate Spotlight: OPRA Magazine – Spring 2016                            Snider Recreation – Our Business is Fun!

History

Snider Recreation has been providing quality commercial playground equipment and park amenities to the parks and recreation, school and early education industries since the 1980s. The company began when Chuck Snider took a unique business opportunity to combine his love of fun, athletics and play. Through his continued dedication to the parks and recreation market over the past few decades, Chuck made the business a joy to be around for both customers and visitors. The company quickly grew to service the entire state of Ohio and later added local representatives and certified installation crews in Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania. After growing up in the business, Jeff and James Snider were passed the company torch by their father, Chuck.

Future

James and Jeff are committed to continuing the legacy of providing only the finest, safest products at the most competitive prices and with the friendliest customer service. Having a lifetime of experience in the commercial play and park business has made them invaluable to all of their customers and award-winning in the playground industry. Snider has maintained its turnkey concept throughout the years by offering design, sales and installation to every customer. Jeff said, “One of the most unique and fulfilling aspects of our work is the happiness that follows the completion of each project. The kids are so excited about the new playground, and the parents are too! A new playground always brings increased traffic and smiles to a park.”
