Gerald, these three guys in Fox Park are toast for several safety reasons, and were highlighted in the Spanfellner safety report a few months ago. I’m going to remove them (unless you object). We could look at some options for replacement equipment in this spot, but whatever goes in should probably be ADA accessible.
Also, the pea gravel layer is down to nothing again, I really need to bring in some rock. 6” pea gravel provides fall protection up to fall heights of 5’, but additional thickness does not provide additional protection. ASTM F1292 is what governs, I have the chart. I’m also going to talk to Adam about scraping back and seeing if I can slip geofabric underneath key areas. Let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns. It’s just time to do some parks maintenance, and money is available.
Thanks!
Andy
