The new playground has been installed, and is ready for play!!

Interesting note about the new surface:
The surface is EWF (Engineered Wood Fibre). The EWF is engineered just for playgrounds, although it may look like garden mulch, it performs and lasts and protects way different. EWF is non flammable, it holds the 11 foot fall height as a safety surfacing so that our children are safe to play. It is extremely important in the Itaska Beach setting as pets and wildlife do not use it as a litter box, unlike sand or pea gravel. It is designed to support a variety of mobility devices including wheelchairs, crutches and walkers.This surface provides superior fall attenuation and has an attractive, natural look.

When the wood is first installed its loose but after about a month of play it settles and knits itself into layers to protect the children.

Engineered Wood Fibre is also all natural, no chemicals are used in the production or refining of this product, its hypo allergenic and clean.
