Playgrounds are meant to be fun, imaginative, and—most importantly—safe. While traditional surfaces like sand, wood chips, or rubber mulch have been used for decades, they don’t always offer consistent protection. Enter artificial turf, a modern solution that combines durability, beauty, and safety in one clean surface. With specially engineered shock-absorbing underlayers, today’s playground turf safety systems are built to help reduce fall injuries and meet strict Canadian safety standards.
A Modern Surface for Safer Play
Safety is the number one priority for parents, schools, and municipalities when it comes to playground design. Artificial grass made specifically for play zones goes beyond aesthetics—it incorporates padding and drainage layers that protect kids from the risks of running, jumping, and the occasional fall.
Unlike traditional playground surfaces, which can become uneven, hard-packed, or slippery, synthetic grass provides a consistently cushioned surface year-round. And with low maintenance requirements, there’s no need to worry about refilling mulch or fixing holes.
What Makes Playground Turf Safe?
High-quality artificial turf products designed for playgrounds are built with layers that do more than look good. Here’s what makes the difference:
Impact-Absorbing Pads
Underneath the turf, we install a shock-absorbing pad designed to reduce impact from falls. These pads are tested to meet CSA and ASTM safety standards for fall height attenuation—giving you peace of mind.
Non-Abrasive Surface
Kids fall. When they do, a soft, non-abrasive surface reduces cuts and scrapes. Fake grass installation ensures the fibres are soft to the touch, while still durable enough for heavy foot traffic and active play.
Seamless Installation
No loose fill or uneven edges. Our artificial turf installation creates a seamless surface that’s trip-resistant and easy to maintain. It also discourages pests and weed growth, making play zones safer and cleaner.
Efficient Drainage
Playgrounds need to be usable even after rain. With advanced drainage systems integrated into the turf products, the surface dries quickly—no mud, no mess, and fewer slip hazards.
Where Playground Turf Shines
Whether it’s for a daycare, schoolyard, or community park, synthetic grass installation in Windsor offers a safe and attractive solution. Here’s where it works best:
- Public Parks: Long-lasting and built for high use.
- School Playgrounds: Reduced maintenance and greater fall protection.
- Daycares: Soft and hygienic for young children.
- Backyard Designs: Bring commercial-grade safety into your yard.
- Recreational Spaces: Great for multi-use family spaces or community zones.
A Smarter Choice for Safety and Style
Choosing artificial grass for playgrounds isn’t just about safety—it’s about creating a play space that looks good and lasts. No more patchy grass, muddy shoes, or annual top-ups of bark mulch. Turf systems offer year-round comfort and consistent safety, while also elevating the overall landscape design.
