The City of Hays Parks Department was awarded a Waste Tire Grant from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The money from the grant was used to help pay for half of the rubber surfacing at Kiwanis Park. The recycled rubber mulch that was installed will NOT decompose, rot, absorb water, or attract insects, and has a fall height rating twice as much as wood mulch. This, over time, will result in decreased maintenance costs and a safer playground while using a product that would otherwise find itself in a landfill if not recycled. ๐Ÿ™Œ

The company that supplied the rubber mulch has in the past year:
- Diverted more than 4.3 BILLON pounds of rubber from landfills
- Recycled more than 194 million tires
- Repurposed 221,201 tons of rubber and transformed it into mulch.

Thank you Parks Department for being an amazing tourism partner who works hard year-round to make Hays a better place to visit - and live! Keep It Clean Kansas
