Cornhole equipment is not only a must-have—Cornhole as a sport is going viral!
ESPN, the national sports-centered television network recently started carrying competitive cornhole championships including the American Cornhole League. Which, if you think for a second, might seem odd, but only initially. As you probably remember fond memories of fun, youthful weekends that were filled with outdoor recreation, cornhole games may have factored into those memories.
It’s an addictive game that just about anyone can get the hang of quickly, and every player (for the most part) starts out on an equal footing, so there is definitely fun to be had.
There are several organizations vying for prime-time viewers’ eyeballs during the Cornhole league season. It’s wild to think that the thing you played at your parent’s company picnic or at the local park has now become a growing sports sensation. But here we are—if you aren’t aware in 2022, about competitive cornhole gaming, we need to get you up to speed, because you are missing out!
And here’s the point—if the ACL (American Cornhole League) has 55,000 semi-pro, and professional players, how many recreational players do you think there are? Cornhole competition is getting great exposure right now, and it is growing.
What type of people play cornhole?
There aren’t a lot of people who don’t like a fun cornhole game. It can be as relaxed or as physical as you want it to be, and it’s a simple concept with a variable of luck and an interesting learning progression curve. People love this type of game. Cornhole is at once, competitive and approachable. It’s not so serious that players cannot have fun, but it’s just serious enough that your competitive side can come out in full force.
It’s now become a staple at outdoor office parties, campgrounds, local parks, and even dog parks.
Anyone who has tried cornhole probably at least remembers how fun it was to throw their first bag, which just missed, and then sink the second or third directly into the high-scoring hole. It’s a relaxing way to get a small amount of exercise, but still enjoy conversation and get out the competitive streak.
How you can ensure your investment in commercial-grade cornhole equipment makes sense
As a space where recreational equipment, concepts, and gameplay are prioritized—we are talking to buyers for parks, campgrounds, outdoor spaces, and event venues—a Cornhole station is now the must-have amenity!
Everyone knows what it is and is asking for it.

How you can benefit from auditing your recreational space to improve the user experience.
Worried that cornhole isn’t the right investment for your outdoor facility? Try polling guests on their reaction to your consideration of adding cornhole equipment. We bet you’d be surprised. After a few days of polling guests and you’re likely to be convinced of the popularity and draw to having cornhole game equipment on your premises.
And as a friendly reminder, in a market where there is constant competition from a million other recreational options, knowing what your guests want and how to keep your space outfitted properly to meet demand and improve visitor counts can be very important.
- Do you have the space to add more options without cluttering up the flow and comfort of your outdoor recreational facility? Consider: Can optimized picnic table footprints help declutter a space or optimize visitor flow and comfort?
- Is your equipment in safe working order and wearing properly with the weather and other considerations? Should you have a quick look at what’s available on the commercial market? This might include things like outdoor games, or outdoor bulletin boards.
- Do you have an appropriate amount of basic amenities in the right spaces to facilitate realistic traffic routes for your visitors? Think, of things like trash receptacles, and solar charging stations.
- Are you experiencing difficulties with parking lot creep, and pedestrian traffic might be at risk of safety concerns? Heavy-duty planters might help create a nature-focused barrier that improves that situation. Need something a bit more overt? Bollards might be a perfect solution.
So while this is an article about concrete cornhole equipment made to last to improve the guest experience over the long term, there are some key considerations every outdoor recreational facility should be thinking about on a regular basis. Having the right baseline equipment to keep guests comfortable and interested can help with creating an impact in the mind of the consumer. And powerful memories can lead to an improved bottom line and a loyal guest for several generations.
