What is PlayCare?

PlayCare is a full-service playground installation company based in Troy, Ohio, proudly serving Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan. We operate with two specialized divisions—outdoor playground installations and indoor playground services—to meet the unique needs of each play environment.

Our Outdoor Division handles full-scope installations of commercial playgrounds, shade structures, poured-in-place surfacing, turf, rubber mulch, and shelters. Our skilled crews bring years of construction experience to every project, ensuring safety, quality, and efficiency from prep to final inspection.

Our Indoor Division provides professional cleaning, maintenance, and repairs for indoor playgrounds and soft play structures. Whether it's routine sanitizing or equipment fixes, we help keep play areas clean, compliant, and kid-ready.

We’ve partnered with top manufacturers and are trusted by schools, parks, daycares, and municipalities across the Midwest. Known for our attention to detail, fast turnaround, and responsive service, PlayCare is committed to building and maintaining spaces where kids can safely play and communities can thrive.
