"Paving the way to a sustainable future"

Park Tread® surfacing blends into the environment visually, aesthetically and structurally, allowing users to experience sensitive ecosystems and watersheds with minimal impact.

DURABLE & STABLE Icon

DURABLE & STABLE

Park Tread® surfacing's long term structural integrity and stability make it superior
to other trail tread products on the market.

Park Tread® material is made from quarried shale/chert processed specifically to meet durability standards required for trails, roads, and parking lots. Park Tread® has been tested by laboratories and has been used on projects for the National Park Service, California State Parks, and County/Regional Parks. Park Tread’s ability to exceed the requirements for firmness, stability, and texture make it an accessible surfacing material, used to meet trail guidelines on AGODA (Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas) and ABAAS (Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard). Park Tread® maintains its structural reliability and visual appearance in high traffic areas including parking lots, multi-use trails, staging areas, picnic grounds, and equestrian environments. Park Tread® has a high tolerance for harsh weather conditions ranging from freezing temperatures to extreme heat.

POT HOLE RESISTANCE

Park Tread® material's natural binding agents make it a superior surfacing product for resisting pot holing in areas with vehicular traffic. This leads to decreased annual/long term maintenance and sediment delivery in storm water runoff.

LOW MAINTENANCE Icon

LOW MAINTENANCE

The ability of the Park Tread® surface to maintain its structure and appearance decreases the need for maintenance and repairs, which in turn saves money and material resources. Once installed, the tread requires less maintenance than other competitive surfacing materials.

LOW MAINTENANCE MEANS LESS REPAIR WHICH SAVES MONEY AND MATERIAL RESOURCES.

Its ability to withstand the elements
keeps the trail surfacing from eroding
into the surrounding environment,
making Park Tread® surfacing a great choice for
trails and roads that travel through
sensitive areas and waterways.

Park Tread® material is free of heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, and other pollutants, which eliminates the chance of leaching or contaminating run-off.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE Icon

SURFACE TEMPERATURE

A TRAIL SURFACED WITH PARK TREAD® HAS A HIGH ALBEDO, WHICH MEANS IT HAS A HIGH SOLAR
REFLECTANCE AND WILL KEEP THE NEAR SURFACE AIR COOL.

When a trail is cool so are the trails users, including pets and wildlife. Surface water on or
near the trail will not increase in temperature and will not have a negative impact on the
temperatures of the nearby waterways.
