Tired of pulling out sand or mulch from your kid's diapers and other crevices? Here's where to find the playgrounds in Raleigh with rubber surfacing.

I shot her a list with a couple. But here's the full list from the city's parks department. Some of the playgrounds have a poured in place rubber mat. Others have rubber tiles.
So if you're tired of pulling out sand or mulch from your kid's diapers, shoes and other crevices, here's the list, with addresses, what kind of surface it is and links to the two that I've reviewed so far:
- Marsh Creek Park Playground, 3016 New Hope Rd., poured in place
- Lions Park Playground, 516 Dennis Ave., poured in place
- Lockwood Park Playground, 1200 Crabtree Blvd., poured in place
- Southgate Park Playground, 1801 Proctor St., poured in place
- Brier Creek School/Community Park (3 playgrounds), 10810 Globe Rd., poured in place and rubber tiles
- Greystone Recreation Center, 7713 Lead Mine Rd., poured in place. (This is an indoor playground).
- Roanoke Neighborhood Park, 1500 Cherokee Dr. A portion of the playground has a poured in place rubber mat.
- Kentwood Park, 4531 Kaplan Dr. rubber tiles
- Anderson Point Park, Rogers Lane, a portion has rubber surfacing.
The city has more than 60 playgrounds. And the rubber mats are more expensive than traditional sand or mulch surfacing. But city park staff tells me they are trying to move toward the rubber mats whenever possible.
The mom on Twitter asked specifically about Raleigh. So I'm starting here. But I'll check out other parks in the area as well. And feel free to post your favorites in the comments.
