Playground Turf Systems

Nothing is more essential than ensuring the safety and well-being of your children. Our cutting-edge, American-made playground artificial grass is manufactured to exceed safety standards. Thus allowing children to enjoy their play area with family and friends fully.

Running, jumping, stomping, playground turf should withstand it all, and so much more. Artificial Turf playground turf is built for the most fun and heavy traffic areas and is suitable for all contact sports and playground structure areas.

Playground Artificial Grass

With durability in mind, artificial grass playground turf was built for years of enjoyment. Our Playground Artificial Grass Surface follows IPEMA. It offers CSA-approved fall attenuation, providing a soft and cushioned landing from up to 10 feet.

Key Benefits

Playground artificial grass offers a safer, more durable, and low-maintenance alternative to natural grass or loose-fill materials like wood chips.

Safety and Injury Prevention

Safety is the most critical factor for playground surfacing, and artificial turf is engineered specifically to address it.

Shock Absorption: When paired with specialized foam underlayment, such as lawn or play pad, artificial grass can meet safety standards for fall heights ranging from 2 to 8 feet. Some systems can even cushion falls from up to 10 feet.

Consistent Surface: Unlike natural grass, which develops holes, or wood chips, which shift and scatter, artificial turf provides a uniform, level surface that eliminates trip hazards.

Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic: High-quality playground turf is non-toxic, lead-free, and does not produce pollen, making it ideal for children with seasonal allergies.

Pest and Chemical Free: It repels insects such as ants, ticks, and fleas and requires no harmful fertilizers or pesticides.

Durability and Performance

Synthetic turf is designed to withstand the intense use in schools and public parks.

High Traffic Resistance: Products are specifically designed for high-traffic environments to prevent flattening or tearing over time.

All-Weather Access: Because it is highly permeable, water drains through it quickly, up to 30 inches per hour, eliminating mud and standing water immediately after rain.

UV and Heat Protection: Many options are designed to resist fading from sun exposure and can reduce surface temperatures by up to 15%.

Low Maintenance and Cost Savings

While the initial installation cost is higher than that of natural grass, artificial turf typically pays for itself within 3 to 4 years through reduced upkeep.

Minimal Upkeep: No mowing, watering, weeding, or reseeding required. Maintenance is generally limited to occasional brushing to keep fibers upright and hosing down to remove dust.

Long Lifespan: A well-maintained playground turf system can last between 10 and 20 years, depending on the quality of materials and the level of foot traffic.

Cleanliness: It eliminates grass stains and prevents mud from being tracked into buildings, reducing indoor cleaning labor for schools and homes.

Core Playground Applications

Residential Backyards: Homeowners use artificial grass to create soft, mud-free play zones under swing sets and slides, replacing natural grass that often dies from heavy foot traffic.

Schools and Daycare Centers: These facilities often require turf systems with specific impact attenuation padding to meet licensing and liability safety standards.

Public Parks and Municipalities: Cities install synthetic turf in high-traffic park playgrounds because it remains level and green year-round without the maintenance costs of mowing or irrigation.

Commercial Businesses: Restaurants, hotels, and shopping centers add small turf play areas to attract families and provide a safe space for children to play while parents shop or dine.

Specialized & Multi-Use Applications

Inclusive/ADA-Compliant Spaces: Specifically designed turf offers improved traction and reduced friction, making it ideal for wheelchair-accessible pathways and trike paths.

Indoor Play Facilities: Because it doesn’t require sunlight or soil, artificial grass is used in indoor play areas, gyms, and “adventure playscapes” to bring an outdoor feel indoors.

Lawn Game Zones: Families and communities use playground-grade turf for Family Fun Areas hosting games like bocce ball, cornhole, and croquet, which benefit from a perfectly level surface.

Transition Areas: Turf is often used to connect different play zones, e.g., between a slide area and a swing set as a more cost-effective alternative to poured-in-place rubber in areas that don’t require high fall-height protection.
