Accessible Playground Surfacing
Replacement
COUNCIL MEETING Date: September 6, 2023

Presenter: Jeff Elevado
Phone: (360) 473-5428
SUMMARY: The Evergreen Rotary Park Accessible Playground became the first “Beyond
Accessible” playground in Kitsap County when it opened in 2014. One of the playground’s key
inclusive features is the use of artificial turf safety surfacing. While engineered wood chips are
considered ADA compliant, artificial turf surfacing is truly accessible for everyone at all abilities.
Artificial turf playground surfacing typically lasts 10-12 years with normal use. However, due to the
popularity of the playground, high volume of use, and recent vandalism, the surfacing has reached
the end of its useful life.
The RCO is offering a one-time, no-match grant opportunity for park maintenance projects. The City
is requesting authorization to apply for this funding to support replacement of the accessible
playground surfacing at Evergreen Rotary Park.
