Trends in Recreation Design: New Dumor

Recreation Design

As we move into 2025, recreation design is evolving to meet the needs of a more eco-conscious, inclusive, and tech-savvy world. DuMor has launched new products this year that exemplify these themes.

Here’s a look at the key trends shaping outdoor spaces:

1. Sustainability at the Core

Eco-friendly materials and practices are at the forefront of recreation design.

  • Eco-Friendly Materials: Pre- and post-consumer recycled materials, including recycled steel, recycled plastic, and sustainably harvested wood.
  • Long-Lasting Materials: Weather-resistant materials that reduce maintenance and extend the life of equipment.
  • Compatibility with LEED® Rating System: Contact us to see how DuMor’s products can help your project achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
