One of several unique features of the project is the recently dedicated playground at the park. The objective of the project was to build and install a playground that contained the highest percentage of recycled materials, to educate the park's 30,000 annual users about the importance and benefits of recycling and to help reinforce the community's commitment to recycling post-consumer materials. Recycled Materials Playground 1. Tree grates from recycled plastic. Recycled crushed concrete base for pavers.
Litter receptacles from recycled plastic.
Educational signage at the playground describes recycled materials and equivalencies used to fabricate the play equipment. The park is the prototype for this program, which was designed to encourage landowners to assess and develop strategies related to natural resource issues during planning and construction. The Audubon Signature Status not only ensured the facility was built for sustainability in design, but that it will be maintained in the same fashion.
