A playground in Edwardsville, Illionois is upgrading their playground surface. The new rubber mulch surface will provide a safer place for kids to play.
With the playground at Glik Park temporarily closed, crews work to remove old mulch that surrounded the playground equipment Tuesday. With a PEP Grant (Park Enhancement Program) from Madison County, the city of Edwardsville was able to make improvements to the park, including the removal of the mulch to make way for a new poured rubber surface underneath. The pathway in front shows the concrete base that was poured first, with the recycled rubber surface on top. Weather permitting to allow crews to finish the work, the playground should re-open within a few days.
