NTPRD Receives Springfield Foundation Grant
December 2008
The National Trail Parks and Recreation District were recipients of a grant, from the Springfield Foundation, for $7,186 to institute a “Playground Fall Protection-Top-Off” program.
The program will allow the District to create a program where a processed wood fiber product will be spread at their local park playground structures to better protect the young people using the equipment from accidental falls, as nationally 60% of playground injuries are as a result of falls.
The District anticipates that this grant will allow them to begin a three-year maintenance program for all of the playground structures.
Doug Nist, the NTPRD Chief Executive Officer commented that, “The grant shows the continued commitment of the Springfield Foundation to improving the quality of life for our citizens by healthier play environment for local children.”
