Ross Recreation Equipment is the exclusive representative in Northern California and Oregon for a wide range of recreational equipment manufacturers. A licensed specialty contractor with expertise in public-use spaces and playground design, the company was founded in 1973 by Ross Cunningham, recreation director for the city of Los Angeles and an accomplished gymnast at the University of California, Berkeley. Originally focusing on gymnasium and outdoor athletic equipment, in 1974 the company became the first authorized sales representative for Landscape Structures, and playground design and construction became Ross Recreation's core business. In 1984, Ewing and Bonney Philbin purchased the company and diversified its operations and product lines to include civic furniture, playground surfacing and shade structures. Now with offices in two states, Ross Recreation Equipment remains true to the mission of its founder: To foster long-term relationships, sell premier products, offer outstanding service and support, and operate always with integrity.
