Greenbrook OKs shade, fake grass
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Harry Mosher may be the closest thing Lakewood Ranch has to a playground expert.
Mosher, who lives in Greenbrook, was an elementary school teacher in Indianapolis for 35 years and was part of playground design team for some schools.
“We’ve gone from real grass to bark mulch to tiny pieces of rubber from ground-up auto tires pieces to artificial grass,” Mosher said of the evolution of playground surfaces. “But artificial surface is best because it’s solid for footing and forgiving when you fall.”
The entrance to Greenbrook Village, on Lorraine Road in Lakewood Ranch, is an open community compared to some other communities that are gated.
Mosher was pleased recently when the Greenbrook Village Association came up with the idea to remove the current mulch surface under the playground equipment at Adventure Park and replace it with an artificial green grass system, installed for lawns and landscape uses.
The new faux grass and a forest green canvas shade canopy to go with it, got the green light from District 4 supervisors recently to become the first two items coming through the pipeline of a Greenbrook Village, Florida, open space plan.
