What do you get when you cross an Early Childhood Educator and a Union Carpenter? Almost 40 years ago, it was two guys who were sure they could build a better playground than anything they found in the market. In 1981, Richard Hagelberg needed a playground for his child care center, and complained to his friend and neighbor, the carpenter George McGuan about the quality and sturdiness of the equipment available at the time. Well, talk becomes action, and so, in December of 1982, Dick and George founded Kidstuff Playsystems, although at that time it was called Olympic Recreation. Their first playground was wood and was manufactured in an empty child care classroom and sold to a neighboring town. Later, we manufactured in George’s basement (yeah, just like the joke about the guy who built a big boat in his basement…), where every piece of wood was cut, drilled and routed smooth.
