Every great journey begins with a single project. For David Contreras, Co‑founder and Principal Architect of PISTIL Consortia, that first step was in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he helped bring an Urban Air park to life. What started as one project quickly grew into a career-defining path as David became the corporate architect for more than 30 parks nationwide, shaping spaces where families gather, play, and create lasting memories.
This journey, filled with milestones and lessons, is the heart of David’s recent feature on the Attraction Pros Podcast. In the episode, he shares how those early foundations became the launchpad for PISTIL Consortia’s evolution into a global force in entertainment and attractions.
Today, PISTIL’s work extends far beyond trampoline parks. We’re designing innovative destinations like Slick City Parks, and collaborating with leaders in Saudi Arabia to support Vision 2030, a national initiative to reimagine leisure and tourism. What began as one architect’s vision has become a consortium dedicated to transforming ideas into unforgettable experiences.
