Artificial lawns aren’t just for yards; they’re excellent for playgrounds as well. With the development of third generation artificial lawn products and the addition of in-fills, artificial lawn playgrounds became the option of choice for playground applications. These “next generation” artificial lawn playgrounds are often virtually indistinguishable from natural grass and are generally regarded as being as safe to play on as a traditional natural grass surface – perhaps even safer in cold conditions. In fact, the latest iteration of artificial lawn playgrounds, installed with rubber coated sands, have better fall test ratings than natural grass surfaces.
The newest generations of artificial grass turfs are now used in all weather training facilities, professional sports facilities and school facilities. As an example, artificial turf has replaced natural grass on many of Yale University’s playing fields. The installation of an artificial lawn has solved a number of the problems that come along with natural grass surfaces, most notably overuse. Currently the varsity field hockey, women’s lacrosse, and new soccer/lacrosse stadium all have artificial lawn playing surfaces. These improvements in design, manufacturing, and installation methods led to substantial improvements in the safety and durability of artificial lawn products.
Panjia only uses safe, durable artificial lawn playground grasses made from polypropylene and polyethylene lead free/non-toxic fibers. Artificial lawn playgrounds are beautiful, safe, low maintenance, cost effective alternatives to traditional playground surfacing such as dirt, grass (which typically dies), wood chips (which tend to harbor insects), and more expensive rubber landing areas.
Be sure to consider the following when researching any potential artificial lawn playground area project:
-
What in-fill helps you to achieve your required playground surfacing G-max results?
-
What is the anticipated traffic density of the artificial turf playground areas?
-
What are the appropriate ADA and fall test ratings requirements for the playground surfacing?
