Playground Safety: Why Artificial Turf is a Smart Choice

When designing playgrounds, safety is paramount. A truly safe playground surface must meet stringent standards to ensure children's well-being during play. Playground Grass synthetic turf not only meets these standards but goes above and beyond to offer a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable play surface.


Meeting and Exceeding Safety Standards

Playground Grass synthetic turf is engineered to surpass the industry's safety benchmarks:
