Burnaby's Lobley park playground redevelopment project has been selected as a Tire Stewardship BC Community Grant Program recipient.

One of Burnaby's park redevelopment projects will benefit from thousands of scrap B.C. tires thanks to a grant from Tire Stewardship B.C.

In 2022, the city said it replaces three playgrounds per year, meaning a typical playground was being replaced every 28 years — though a structure’s life-cycle is only about 15 years. Lobley Park was designated as a basic playground, which have a capacity of about 30 children and cost about $300,000. On Tuesday, June 11, Tire Stewardship BC announced eight organizations throughout the province that will be receiving TSBC grants to start or complete community playground projects that utilize B.C. recycled tires.

“Pour-in-place rubber surfacing is a desirable surface material for enhancing playgrounds,” Tire Stewardship BC Executive Director Rosemary Sutton said in a news release.
