Rainbow Staff

About Us

Families in Central Illinois have been familiarized to Rainbow Play Systems since the dealer showroom opened up in March of 2001. In October of 2004, I purchased the business from an absentee Des Moines businessman. The building we occupy was built especially for a showroom with party room and outside space for adequate displays. Rainbow Corporate began in 1980 and has grown with over one million systems in the United States. Considered the premier residential play system, our goal is building childhood memories while playing in your own backyard. We also want to leave our customers with a memorable buying experience. I, myself, am involved in the daily operations to ensure this goal is met.

Shannon Henry, my eldest daughter has been active in the business since purchased, not only being the accountant and bookkeeper, but also learning the business from inside out. Her children Elias (4) and Nathan (2) enjoy their very own Rainbow Play System in their backyard today.

We continue to grow and respond to customer needs and desires. Our second most popular products are the Goalsetter Basketball Systems. As our children grow up, a basketball system is a driveway requirement. Many of our Rainbow customers come back to buy a Goalsetter.

Ancillary Products are rubberized mulch, mats, and borders.

Most recently we have expanded our products to include commercial play systems from Adventure Play Systems.

Thank you for reading this and we look forward to your visit to our store.
