The playground has two surface types, rubber and manufactured wood chips. The foundation of the rubber surface, gravel and cement, were installed on October 16. A backhoe brought gravel from a container sitting on Grant Street to the worksite. There it was pressed into the ground between a bright green outline of the rubber surface.
The cement was processed in a cement mixer parked on the south Greenway sidewalk. A Mud Buggy transported the cement to the playground floor where it was smoothed into the path form. Aerial view and image 5 courtesy of Albrecht Company.
