What's the Big Deal About the Grant?


When I first started at Struthers Recreation, I heard a lot about “The Grant”. So much that I may have started to think it was some super-star of an employee I hadn’t met yet. Maybe you have been hearing about the grant and you keep wondering, like I was, who or what it is all about.

Cole Smith , Director of Parks & Recreation
Working with Struthers Recreation and their Representative, Alan Mumbower, has been a great experience. Too many times in the recreational field, companies only care about getting their product in your park and once it is there, they forget about you. That is not the case working with Alan and Struthers. They are great on the front end, helping to stay within budget and deciding what best fits your needs. They are great working with during the installation process and making sure things are being done correctly and not cutting corners, and on the back end, staying in touch to make sure you are happy with end results and making sure that everything continues to function as it should. They are always quick to help resolve any issues that may arise after installation, so you as the consumer remain happy, and your participants using the equipment have an enjoyable experience!

After working in this field for over 20 years, there is no company I’d rather collaborate with. Struthers Recreation takes pride in their work, and it shows. It is difficult to find a company with such exceptional customer service and their attention to detail is far superior to others.
