Rubber resurfacing at Crossings playground

Beginning Tuesday, August 16th, work will begin on a rubber resurfacing project for Crossings playground, which will result in temporary closures of the pathways and play areas.

Contractors will keep as much of the park open as possible throughout their work and will set up temporary fences around each play structure.

The following play areas will be resurfaced with pour-in-place rubber surfacing:

  • Swings

  • Rock and Wood play area,

  • Zipkrooz

Each resurfacing will take 3-4 weeks to complete, weather permitting.

The new rubber surfacing uses Alberta-sourced recycled tires, diverting this material from landfills. The rubber surfacing is mobility device friendly for improved accessibility, provides consistent fall suppression that meets CSA requirements, and provides a colorful, inviting element to the play area.
