Parks & Recreation Testimonials

Parks Maintenance Supervisor

When it comes to providing a quote, placing an order and final installations, St. Croix Recreation has made the process seamless. Most importantly, once they have made a sale, I know that I can count on them for follow up…

Parks and Recreation Department

I have found St. Croix Recreation to be a reputable, honest and reliable company to do business with. Johnnie Johnsen has a well-known and richly deserved reputation for excellent customer care and support.

Parks & Recreation Director

As in many projects with St. Croix Recreation, the planning, design and final construction met all our expectations. Most importantly, the neighborhood served by the new park and playground were exceptionally happy with the product.

Manager, Parks and Recreation

Our maintenance staff was impressed with the playground which included a 2-5 year old and 5-12 year old unit. The installers worked well with our staff and were very professional in their interaction with the neighbors.

Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources

Dear Paul Hokeness, I am writing this letter to express a sincere thank you to you, Johnnie Johnsen and to the staffs of St. Croix Recreation and Burke. Your communication regarding all steps of the process from planning and ordering to installation to the final audit corrections was appreciated.

Playground Testimonials

Brian D. Bloomfield, Executive Director of Nova Classical Academy

Dear Mike, I write on behalf of Nova Classical Academy to thank you for the way you and your company created our new school playground. The playground is absolutely beautiful and a joy for children to use! When I look at our end-result, I cannot imagine that we ever considered other companies than St. Croix Recreation.

Mr. Patrick Gallivan, Principal at St. Mary of the Lake School

I recommend Mike Basich and St. Croix Recreation Company, Inc. to anyone looking for a professional playground. His service was everything I expected and more.

Carrie Boche, Physical Education Teacher at Saint Peter Claver School in St. Paul

I’d recommend St. Croix Recreation Co. Inc. to anyone who is looking at getting a new playground. We are very pleased with our decision to go with them. Thank you Chris and the rest of the crew! We really appreciate your hard work!

Amy M., Private MN Residence

Levi LOVES his swing, he makes the “mmmm” sound for “more” when I try to take him out if it - pretty awesome! I still can’t believe it’s in our yard and we can just walk out the door and Levi can swing.

Micah B, PTA Member

St. Croix Recreation helped us design our new school playground and we couldn't be more pleased. They were kind, responsive and knowledgeable. I appreciated that they helped us find the best deal, were very informed about the playground industry, had unique design elements, and were service oriented through every step of the process. They wanted our project to succeed just as much as we did! Since it has been installed, I noticed their high quality standard compared to other playgrounds I've seen. They are a family-owned company that also treats their clients like family. Thank you, St. Croix Recreation!!
