At Cunningham Recreation, we’re proud to support communities that go beyond standard playground design through the National Demonstration Site (NDS) program 🌿 National Demonstration Sites are outdoor play and recreation spaces that are built using evidence-based design practices and real-world research to promote inclusive play, youth physical activity, nature play, and outdoor adult fitness. These sites are recognized for going above and beyond minimum standards to create environments where people of all ages and abilities can move, connect, and thrive. As part of the NDS network, communities also gain access to data and impact reporting that helps demonstrate how their spaces are improving health, engagement, and overall community well-being, turning great design into measurable results. It’s more than a playground. It’s a model for healthier, more active communities.

What if the journey was the destination? 🌿 Today’s walking paths and trails are becoming so much more than a way to get from point A to point B. They’re turning into interactive experiences designed for movement, learning, and connection. From hopscotch markings and balance elements to nature play stops and sensory features, playful pathways keep kids engaged and give families new ways to explore together. Along the way, these spaces encourage curiosity, spark learning, and make staying active feel fun and natural. Because when movement meets play, something powerful happens, people stay longer, connect more, and come back again and again. See how thoughtful design can transform trails into unforgettable experiences: cunninghamrec.com/articles/m…
