New partnership introduces innovative material made from upcycled rice hulls to create natural-looking, durable playground environments
FORT PAYNE, Ala. (Sept. 15, 2026) – What do rice hulls have to do with playgrounds? Quite a lot, as it turns out.
GameTime is partnering with Modern Mill to introduce ACRE, an innovative wood-alternative material made from upcycled rice hulls, into a new generation of nature-inspired playground designs.
ACRE looks and feels like real wood, but it isn't wood at all. Made from an agricultural byproduct that might otherwise go to waste, the material gives designers a new way to bring the warmth, texture, and character of wood into playground environments while delivering the performance needed for years of outdoor play.
"At GameTime, we're always looking for new ways to help communities create play spaces that feel connected to the places around them," said Spencer Cheak, President, GameTime. "Our partnership with Modern Mill gives designers an entirely
While building a park in any capacity is valuable, research suggests that outdoor recreation spaces flourish when their design is founded in research, supplemental programming is offered, and stakeholders actively participate in the planning process.
National Demonstration Sites (NDS) are playgrounds that showcase leadership in best practice design, support health-related initiatives, and collect data that stakeholders can use to understand the sites’ impact on the community. Through five distinct categories, the NDS program facilitates the translation of research into practical implementation at local parks.
Read on to learn more about the NDS program and its five categories.
Play On!: Youth Physical Activity
Experience the excitement of Play On!® playgrounds, where innovative equipment turns fitness into fun!
Developed by our parent company, PlayCore, in collaboration with Shape America, the Play On! curriculum is designed to tackle sedentary lifestyles and promote youth fitness.
A new playground can transform a community space—but turning that vision into reality often starts with finding the right funding. Grants can help parks, schools, nonprofits and community organizations make playground projects more achievable, but a strong project alone does not guarantee funding.
A successful grant proposal clearly demonstrates why the project is needed, who it will serve, how the funding will be used and what impact the project will have.
Whether you are applying for a local foundation grant, a state or federal recreation grant, or a playground-specific funding opportunity, these strategies can help you create a stronger proposal.
What Are the Benefits of a Playground Grant?
Playground grants can benefit communities in several ways, and make an impact on how communities connect and thrive together.
Make playground projects more affordable – Grants can help cover costs for playground equipment, installation, site preparation, and other similar expenses.
