Building a retaining wall for the playground mulch

We noticed the levels of playground mulch were decreasing in the playground and increasing in the rock beds. We saw the opportunity to attempt to contain as much mulch as humanly possible to the playground area.

The Dads Group spent multiple days cleaning up the displaced mulch and building a relatively level (I mean… unless it is a church or a bar – amiright?) retaining wall to not only hold the rubber mulch back but also ensure the playground and areas around it look clean and inviting.

Now when the kiddos are out on the playground the rubber mulch stays where it is supposed to – yes, we understand that your child brings home a ton of the rubber mulch each day in their shoes. We can confirm that we spend time discussing solving this issue on the last Thursday of each month during our “planning” meetings. Stay tuned!
