Alta Sierra School Playground

Below are before and after views of the Alta Sierra School playground in Grass Valley, refurbished using $23,414 in grant funds obtained by Pleasant Ridge Union School District through the Board's 1997/98 Playground Cover and Track Surfacing program. The playground is safer, more attractive, easier to maintain, meets Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, and is more accessible after wet weather.
