CHALLENGE DESIGNS

At Challenge Design Innovations (CDI), experience is at the heart of everything we do. Our story began 45+ years ago when founder Jim Wall built his first ropes course and zip line at San Lee Park in Sanford, North Carolina in 1980. Jim's belief was simple yet powerful: lasting quality comes from building lasting relationships. By 1987, Jim had formalized this vision through Walls Outdoor Associates, the foundation that would evolve into CDI. Today, CDI remains a family-owned company led by Corey Wall, Jim's son, who continues the legacy of innovation and integrity. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience in ropes courses, zip lines, and aerial adventure parks. Many of our staff actively contribute to the development of national safety standards through ACCT International (formerly Association for Challenge Course Technology), the global authority on challenge course, zip line, and aerial adventure park standards. We always design and build in compliance with the ANSI/ACCT..
