Hello and Welcome to TFP!!
No, play sand can not be used. You need to find pool sand, usually #20 silica sand

Home Depot has #20 pool filter sand in the pool supply area, usually in the garden center. $8.98 for 50 lbs. That's a LOT better than buying it from Amazon for $27 for 50 lbs.

As long as the Home Depot stuff is not Quikrete brand. Have been issues with that brand in the past. FYI ---

No, not Quikrete. Don't remember what brand, but I know it's not QK.
What sorts of problems?

Sizing issues. Fines, etc. You can do a search. Was more prevalent the last year and year before.
