Soil safety at playgrounds and parks

The Soil Safety Program Service Area covers Vashon and Maury Island, and runs down the coast of the sound in Pierce county.

Soil Safety Program service area

Arsenic and lead in play-area soil can pose a risk to children. Through our Soil Safety Program, we provide free soil sampling and soil safety actions for qualifying public and private schools, licensed childcares, parks, camps, and multi-family public housing. The program is limited to Vashon-Maury Island in King County and western Pierce County. Ecology does not evaluate childcares in mainland King County, nor in Thurston County.

Are you starting a new childcare?

The Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) requires childcare facilities in Ecology’s Soil Safety Program Service Area to sign up for arsenic and lead soil evaluation as part of the licensing process.

If you are opening a childcare, you can use our interactive Dirt Alert map to find out if you are in the program service area. Follow the instructions below to learn what you need to do to satisfy the lead and arsenic evaluation agreement requirement:

  1. Enter your address into the address bar in the upper left of the map.

  2. Review the message box in the lower left of the map.

    • If your property is in the Soil Safety Program service area, please contact Sarah.Miller@ecy.wa.gov or 360-999-3186 for further assistance.

    • If your property is not within the Soil Safety Program Service Area, save a screenshot of the page, including the message box, and share it with your DCYF licensing agent.

For families

How do I learn more about my child’s school or park?

We have sampled the soil at all schools and parks within the service area that have play areas (for example, ball fields or play structures). We have completed work on nearly all of the areas that need action (you can see the list of completed parks below). We can’t replace soil around mature trees, so wooded areas around schools and in parks may still have elevated levels of arsenic and lead. We recommend that you and your family always practice healthy actions.

You can check for information on a park or school using our interactive map, or search for it in the tables below.


Soil sampling and safety actions completed

  • Soil sampling: We have sampled over 1,200 existing play areas in collaboration with local health departments in King, Pierce, and Thurston counties.

  • Soil safety actions: We found over 150 play areas with elevated arsenic or lead. We've performed safety actions on 90 percent of them. Soil safety actions include:

    • Removing and replacing soil
    • Covering soil with wood chips or gravel
    • Placing signs
