New Life for Old Tires: Niekamp Park Upgrades Playground Safety with State Grant

ST. MARTINS, MO — Playtime at Niekamp Park just got a whole lot softer—and a lot greener. The City of St. Martins announced the successful installation of brand-new, high-performance rubber surfacing underneath its playground equipment in three of its playground areas, a major upgrade designed to maximize children's safety and breathe new life into recycled materials.

The project was made possible through a Scrap Tire Surface Material Grant awarded by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Program.

  6. Sweep up debris instead of hosing down outside areas
  7. Pick up after your pets
  8. Properly dispose of materials used in home repair & improvements such as paint & debris
  9. Wash vehicles at commercial car washes (where dirty water is treated at the wastewater plant) or at least on grass where it can be filtered instead of running off on the pavement
