There is a need to educate playground owners of important safety  considerations and highlight seasonal maintenance tasks for each type of  surfacing, including accessibility when planning the project, that  should be put into place for routine and periodic safety inspections.    

For this session of Shop Talk, we invited Kevin Umbreit, VP and District  Sales Representative from Recreation Resource USA, to share his  expertise regarding resilient playground safety surfaces. Attendees will  learn about the pros/cons of each type of surface, costs, and ongoing  maintenance issues.   

Participants will:  

1. Learn about each type of playground surface 

2. Learn about costs associated with each type of playground surface 

3. Be provided with details about why it is important to maintain your  playground surfaces
