Source for Sand

Where do you buy sand for sandboxes, etc.? We just got great garage sale deals on a small sandbox (approx. the size of those Little Tikes "turtle" ones) and a basketball hoop that needs sand in the base for ballast.

I'm looking for somewhere near Chaska - I know Toys R Us has play sand in small bags but I think it would take a lot of small bags to fill both, plus it's a long drive.

Any ideas?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks to everyone who responded - I went to Home Depot and found sand with no problem - I just never noticed it there in the gardening section before! It took 150 lbs. of sand to fill my sand box, and another 150 lb to secure the basketball hoop.

I bought mine at Home Depot but I had to haul it myself. I heard of a group like the Lions Club that comes by every year and sells it cheap and will deliver it right to your sand box. Nice... but I don't know the detail.
