Recycled rubber surfacing was a perfect way to meet the needs of the child and to learn how to play on the ground within a safe environment. Kal’s RePlay Fund was user friendly and although in great demand, it was accessible for this much needed rubber playground. Thank you, Kal Tire, for being there for us.”
