Recreational Facilities

Recreational facilities include playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts and just about any other surface intended primarily for pedestrian use.

Assumed Traffic

Pedestrians and an occasional maintenance light truck.

Design Considerations
Pedestrians tend to like an extremely smooth pavement. Maximum aggregate sizes larger than about 0.5 inches are noticeably rough. Playgrounds and athletic courts can be finished with a commercially manufactured slurry seal to provide a smooth playing surface.
