I would strongly suggest you keep that away from them. Some ugly research has been done linking that with cancers. Still allowed to be used and sold in Australia for around kids play grounds though. The chemicals that leach from old tyres and recycled rubber products are nasty. Plain old pine bark will be fine Thanks Fu, I think I will go with the pinebark then. eimaj Re: Which mulch for kid's play area? 7Dec 15, 2010 3:59 pm Here is a photo of the softfall bark we put down under the trampoline on the weekend. We did this so we didn't have to move it mow under it. It is the same stuff the use in a lot of kids playgrounds. http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b456/take2_photo/IMG_0053.jpg?t=1292392583 Cheers Lou http://take2-customdesigndownslope.blogspot.com 07-10-09 omg they have cut the block 14-05-10 we finally have the keys Re: Which mulch for kid's play area? 9Dec 15, 2010 8:37 pm We put hoop bark around the edges, we used that to cover the sloping gardens so it would not wash away.

That will not blow away nor wash away because it will be made ou of a variety of material and particle sizes The pine bark may do you head in. Re: Which mulch for kid's play area? 11Dec 16, 2010 12:20 pm Err oops may need to clarify Fu's post there, - pine bark mulch under the play equipment, tree mulch on the garden beds.
