'26 Spring Playground Maintenance Course (Chicago Metro)

May 20, 2026 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM (CDT)

Description

The National Recreation and Park Association's Playground Maintenance Course (PMC) is a one-day (6.25 hour) educational course that provides participants with an understanding of basic playground hazards, applying safe maintenance practices on equipment, identifying surfacing types and proper maintenance procedures, and establishing proper record keeping practices. This is a great opportunity for both permanent/seasonal part-timers that service playgrounds during the busy summer months and full-time professionals either aspiring to achieve Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) certification or looking for CEUs pre-approved for CPSI certification renewal. 


Course taught by Rolling Meadows Superintendent of Parks and certified PMC instructor, Brian McKenna. Participation includes a playground maintenance guide, continental breakfast, lunch, playground visit, and certificate of completion. 


The registration deadline is May 15, 11:59pm CST.
