Artificial grass designed specifically for playgrounds is a safety-first surfacing system engineered to protect children from injury due to falls. Unlike standard landscape turf, playground grass is part of a complete shock-absorbing system. It typically consists of a synthetic grass carpet installed over a specialized impact-attenuating underlay, such as a foam pad or a loose-fill rubber layer. This combination is then infilled with soft rubber granules (often SBR or TPE). The entire installation is laboratory-tested to determine its Critical Fall Height (CFH) rating, which indicates the maximum height from which a fall is unlikely to cause a life-threatening head injury. This certification is essential for compliance with international safety standards like ASTM F1292 or EN 1177. Beyond safety, playground turf is non-abrasive, anti-bacterial, drains quickly, and is highly durable to withstand constant running and play. It provides a clean, accessible, and inviting surface that remains green and mud-free in all seasons. A city council renovating a public park would install certified artificial grass in the playground area to create an inclusive, safe environment for children of all abilities, significantly reducing the risk of injuries from trips and falls compared to traditional materials like asphalt or compacted soil. New Create Plywood Company Limited operates with a strong commitment to quality and safety in its manufacturing processes. While our core products are wood-based panels, our understanding of creating durable, reliable materials for public and commercial use provides a relevant perspective. For projects that encompass playgrounds or recreational spaces and may involve other construction elements, we can provide guidance and supply complementary building materials. We invite you to contact us to discuss the material requirements for your community or recreational facility project.
