What is path made of?

moldy_sea · 2019-01-26 15:01:51

I've often seen paths in parks that are made up of a yellow looking sort of material. It doesn't get your shoes muddy and appears to let rain soak right through. Does anyone know what it is and how are these built? Example image of what it looks like https://www.flickr.com/photos/eutouring/38400363916
