Sand weighs ~100 lbs per cubic ft.
37 tons = 74000 lbs or 740 cubic ft
3 inches of depth gets you 4 sq ft of coverage
740*4 gets you 2960 sq. feet.
The city says the park is 14,000 sq feet. [1]
In the video you can see they avoided spreading it in a lot of areas because they didn't have nearly enough!
Conclusion: Sand is heavy

- candu 7y agoTo put that in context: 1 cubic foot of flour is 37 lbs; of sugar, 50 lbs; of water, 62 lbs. If you've ever tried to pick up a sack / large bucket of any of these things, it's like that but even denser. Compound that by the usual "volume varies as the cube of a side" thing, and this gets really heavy fast.
