Kituwah Academy – Cherokee, NC

Across Western North Carolina, every project begins with listening — to teachers, pastors, city planners, and parents who care about their community. From school play areas in Cherokee to county shelters in Rowan and church playgrounds in Clemmons, the result is more than just equipment. These are places where families gather, children grow, and neighbors feel connected.

Kituwah Academy – Cherokee, NC

At Kituwah Academy, serving the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, we created a playground that celebrates cultural pride while supporting active play. The design included spaces for younger and older children, balancing inclusive play with durability. It’s a project that shows how schools can blend tradition and modern recreation.

Kituwah Academy was special because the playground had to reflect both heritage and everyday use. The school wanted equipment that could withstand constant activity while still honoring the cultural importance of the space. With guidance from Bliss Products and Services, we made sure every element was safe, practical, and welcoming. The result is a playground where tradition meets recreation — a place that belongs to the students, their families, and the community as a whole.

Across Western North Carolina, no two projects are ever exactly the same, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful. Whether it’s a small-town church playground, a county park upgrade, or a school installation for hundreds of children, every space is built with care and designed to last. With the support of Bliss Products and Services, I’m committed to helping communities across the Blue Ridge and foothills create outdoor spaces that reflect their values and serve future generations.
