Modern Mill and GameTime Partner to Bring ACRE to Playgrounds Nationwide

FERNWOOD, MISSISSIPPI, September - 21-- Modern Mill, an innovative manufacturer of sustainable building materials, today announced a new corporate partnership with GameTime, a PlayCore company and one of the most established names in commercial playground design since 1929, to use ACRE in playground applications nationwide.

GameTime will use ACRE in its EverForms series, which includes freestanding climbers, character-inspired play pieces, and spring riders. Together, Modern Mill and GameTime are building spaces where children can play and connect with nature, built sustainably and responsibly without harvesting trees.

"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 new material to work with. ACRE has the natural character people want in nature-inspired spaces, along with the durability and design flexibility a playground demands. And the fact that it begins with something as simple as a rice hull makes the story even better."

ACRE is naturally biophilic, offering the wellness benefits of being surrounded by real nature. The material is also well suited to high-traffic playground environments since it doesn't splinter, rot, and resists water, weather, and pests.

"Modern Mill and GameTime are both in the business of creating spaces people enjoy," said Chris Guimond, Founder and CEO of Modern Mill. "Now we're working together to build spaces where kids can feel connected to nature on playgrounds across the country, interacting with a material that doesn't come at nature's expense."
