Is our East Palestine City Park safe for activities?

Yes. Results show that levels of dioxin and semi-volatile organic compounds are well below any levels that we would consider restricting activities, and all are either at or below typical background levels for soil in the United States. In addition, the village has cleaned all recreational equipment, including the pool as part of its annual maintenance program. Other improvements included installing new landscape fabric, playground mulch and sod.
