A black rubberized base surface is applied to the pathways that meander to all the playground apparatuses. This was followed by a final coating of blue rubberized surfacing the next day. It took 48 hours for the surface to set. Rotarian volunteers took 4-hour shifts, day and night, to make sure people stayed off the equipment and pathways to protect the surface. There were over 160 dedicated volunteers who helped prepare surface, assemble equipment, spread mulch, erect fencing, and guard the site.
