Key Features of Our Playground Turf Systems
We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all turf surface because we recognize that every play space is unique, with its own set of requirements and characteristics. Our turf installations are specifically designed to reflect that individuality, ensuring that each playground is tailored to meet the distinct needs of its environment and the children who will play there.
**Safety Surfacing:**
We take safety seriously. That’s why we use advanced, shock-absorbent padding beneath our turf that meets or exceeds the rigorous ASTM F1292 and ADA accessibility standards for fall height compliance. This ensures that children can enjoy their playtime with peace of mind, knowing they are protected from potential injuries.
**Cool Play Technology:**
Our innovative heat-reducing turf materials are particularly ideal for exposed play areas under the bright San Francisco sun. With our technology, surface temperatures can be reduced by as much as 30%, making playtime more comfortable even on the hottest days. This feature allows kids to enjoy their outdoor activities without the worries of hot surfaces.
**Drainage Design:**
The design of our playground turf is equipped with proprietary drainage channels that facilitate water flow at impressive rates of over 30 inches per hour. This feature is especially beneficial for those foggy or rainy days in San Francisco, as it helps to keep the play surface dry and usable, preventing water accumulation and ensuring safe play conditions.
**Infill Options:**
We provide a variety of infill options for our turf to suit your specific maintenance and safety needs. You can choose from coated silica sand, which offers durability, antimicrobial T°Cool infill that helps manage temperatures, or an array of kid-friendly rubber alternatives. Each option is designed to enhance the play experience while ensuring that the surface remains safe and enjoyable for children of all ages.
