CSD traditionally designed playgrounds with a combination of rubber surfacing and wood fiber.
Recent product failures and expensive replacement costs have caused staff to reconsider the use of rubber surfacing.
Rubber surfacing is double the cost of wood fiber.
Both surfaces meet current standards for playground safety.
Wood fiber will be used at George Park.

Reduce water use by 25%
DROUGHT - GOVERNOR’S ORDERS
Recreational facilities, such as city parks… should immediately implement water reduction plans to reduce the use of potable water for outdoor irrigation.
Sacramento County Water Agency – Reduce water use by 32% Turf can only be watered once a week
between 8pm and 6am Shrub & Groundcover areas can be
watered 3 times a week (drip only) Outdoor fountains prohibited (potable)
![Page 38: George park 2nd community outreach](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110123/55b6e170bb61eb7e268b46bb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CSD – RESPONSE TO DROUGHT
CSD Board adopted a policy stating that areas designated for turf in new parks will temporarily be installed with ½ of those areas in turf and ½ in mulch. However SCWA restricts water for turf to once a week. No new turf can be installed until restrictions are lifted.
Funding will be reserved for conversion.
Executive Orders/Agency Restrictions are subject to change
Reduce turf areas in new parks George Park only 39% turf Parks 2005 - 2015 – 55% turf Parks prior to 2005 - 80% turf
Utilize sophisticated, centrally controlled irrigation controllers. All planting areas are composed of low
water use plants on drip irrigation. Inclusion of dry river beds with less planting
Very low water use New for George Park.
