Meet the Founders: Craig & Susan Sheffer

In 1998, Craig and Susan founded Michigan Recreational Construction, Inc., a commercial park and playground company, driven by their passion for creating safe, innovative spaces where children can play and grow. Both coming from large, tight-knit families, they deeply value the importance of community, family and supporting others. As parents of four children themselves and grandparents of two, their top priority in every project has been creating a safe and fun environment for children to play and thrive. 

Our Motto...

We Work Hard - We Stay Honest - We Never Cut Corners
Because Kids' Safety Comes First.

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.
