PIERRE, (KCCR) — The play structures kids use to burn off energy at recess or lunch in the Pierre School District are holding up well. Building and Grounds Director Mark Sommars says he checks the District’s playground equipment three times a year…
Sommars says the wood fibers used as playground mat do breakdown over time and more may be needed next year…
Sommars says they watch the surfaces of playground equipment carefully in the winter months…
Sommars says most of the playground equipment in the District is newer and use safety bolts which require special tools to remove although those fasteners do occasionally loosen.
