The rubber tile playground safety surfacing is approaching the end of its useful life. South Suburban has initiated a renovation effort to replace the tiles with traditional poured-in-place (PIP) rubber safety surfacing. The removal of the existing tiles and installation of the new PIP surfacing are anticipated to begin in mid-June and be completed by mid-July of this year.

    The PIP surfacing was installed last week; however, while the material was curing over the weekend a fence panel was knocked down damaging a small section. The contractor will be onsite next week to make the surface repair. As of now, we are anticipating the project being complete by the end of the day Thursday, July 03.



  • Concrete Subbase Installation

    The concrete subbase for the new poured-in-place (PIP) rubber safety surfacing has been installed. The PIP material has been ordered and is scheduled for delivery and installation within the next 1–2 weeks.

    The construction fence will remain in place around the playground equipment until the project is complete; however, the concrete path separating the 2–5 and 5–12 playground areas is open for use.

    Please proceed with caution while construction is ongoing.
