Waste Tire Playground Cover Grant Program

Grant Profile: Beaumont Unified School District

Location: Sundance Elementary School, Riverside County
Grant ID: #TR22-02-5463

The district wanted to increase overall safety of the playground by adding a playground/running area with proper design/layout made of recycled-content impact attenuation covering (pour-in-place) under outdoor running surface applications early in July of 2002. The pour-in-place mat surfacing is rubber--100 percent derived from recycled used tires. This will provide safety to students by meeting standards recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), wheel chair accessibility, and a running/play area that is above nuisance runoff water, thus meeting Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

This project diverted 350 California waste tires from the landfills.
