Testimonials

Ric Buchanan , Park Development Manager

“I have worked with Cunningham and their GameTime product line for years, always a quality product that Cunningham and the manufacturer stand behind. It is a pleasure to work with Brandon Orff, our local Cunningham representative, who provides friendly and seamless procurement and installation services that are rarely found these days.”

Joe Shuttleworth , Director of Parks and Recreation

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Cunningham Recreation. In a recent themed playground project, Cunningham Recreation did a fantastic job of taking my vision, requirements and budget and creating an awesome end product that the public loves and fits our facility wonderfully. Mitch Reno, the local Cunningham Recreation representative, brings a friendly personal touch to his projects making the process smooth and successful. I highly recommend Mitch and the Cunningham Recreation team for any recreation project.”

Amy Corbitt , Projectd Manager

“As a professional in the field of working with individuals with special needs for the past 25 years, I can attest to the fact that Cunningham Recreation and GameTime have an acting knowledge of what it takes to meet the needs of every population in playground design and installation. During my time in working with Cunningham Recreation & GameTime, I have learned these two companies have the ability to listen and help dreams come true. They have shown true knowledge and professionalism throughout the entire course of my 16 month long project in helping our communities build 10 truly inclusive playgrounds. They have met tight deadlines, and always understood what it meant to our communities to have this new experience of play. As an Alamance County native, I can truly say that Cunningham Recreation would be a valuable asset to anyone or any group who chooses to complete a project within their community.”

Valerie Gerdes Lemme, RLA, CPRP, CPSI , Planner II

“Cunningham Recreation and the supporting staff have made designing as much fun as playing on the equipment. As a landscape architect, I find the Play Core resources and educational sessions encourage me to look beyond the obvious quick solutions and expand the concepts to bring more to our parks and our community. We appreciate the quick response time from the design and sales staff. The grant programs have helped us to buy and install more innovative and exciting playgrounds for our parks and schools. The children really enjoy the opportunities to help select play elements that interest them. I really appreciate that the Cunningham design staff takes the kids’ ideas and makes them safe and playable. Thanks to Gametime and Cunningham Recreation for making play equipment fun and imaginative as well as challenging, accessible and safe. The durable products and supportive services help us stretch our resources to offer better choices in our community. ”
