Playground Safety and Recycling Grants

The Board managed two grant programs developed in 2000 to build markets for recycled-content materials and help conserve resources while assisting local agencies in meeting the Department of Health Services' playground design and safety regulations, established to prevent injuries and meet accessibility requirements.

Funding has ended for both these programs, however, the Board manages tire-derived product grants that often provide funding for playground, track, or other recreational surfacing.
