Notice Yellow Granules at Our Parks?

The Addison Parks and Recreation Department has been receiving questions about the yellow granules people are seeing in the turf at our parks lately. These are corn gluten that the Parks Department uses around all playgrounds, lawn areas where kids play, and in dog parks. Corn gluten is non-toxic and is often used as a filler in some pet foods. It is also an organic pre-emergent herbicide which helps prevent weed seed germination.
