Open i n g s

Ogden, Utah, Earns a New Playground
from Hershey's Track and Field

I

n August, the Ogden Recreation
Department in Ogden, Utah, in
collaboration with the Ogden
Youth Track Club, was awarded
a Playtop Street with Nike Grind
playground for the complex at Fourth
Street Park through a sponsorship from
the Hershey's Track and Field Games.
Hershey's Track and Field Games gather
thousands of youth athletes across the nation every year to compete
in various athletic activities.
Ogden was selected as the
playground recipient due
to its accomplishments and
participation in the 2011
season. Construction of the

	

first-of-its-kind playground began in early October and was unveiled to the public
on October 20.
The Playtop Street playground configuration consists of an oval play areas
with Playtop wet-pour rubber surfacing
and twelve interactive satellites - which
light up and produce a series of sounds
activated by touch during games. As part
of its partnership with Nike, Playtop Safer

Surfacing uses Nike Grind Rubber in its
wet-pour surfacing, creating a shock-absorbent, safe play space. Nike Grind is the
raw material resulting from the recycling
of athletic shoes collected through Nike's
Reuse-A-Shoe program and from the recycling of scrap materials left over from
the manufacture of Nike footwear. The
Ogden playground contains Nike Grind
rubber from approximately 4,500 pairs
of recycled shoes and was installed by
Summit Recreation of Lakewood, Colorado. To date, more than 25 million
pairs of athletic shoes and 30,000 tons
of manufacturing scrap have been recycled through the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe
program, which originated in 1990.
