@SturgiesYrFase @unexposedhazard I think the other thing to remember is that kids love to do stuff like run through flowerbeds and throw tanbark at each other and generally cause a mess.

If it were just grown ups walking through the park and generally sticking to the paths, it'd probably be fine (or at least much less of an issue).

But in a number of these parks, the mulch has ended up around play equipment. And that's likely to be much more of an issue.

1000% the fact that the whole park isn't cordoned off is a bit troubling for this exact reason.
