Durable and safe, artificial grass is being installed in playgrounds at schools and parks across the country.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), each year an estimated 200,000 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for playground equipment-related injuries; 60 percent of these injuries are the result of falls to the ground, underscoring that the most critical safety factor on playgrounds is protective surfacing such as artificial grass playground turf.

To prevent injuries from falling, the CPSC recommends that all fall zones in playgrounds and parks should be covered with a protective surfacing material. These materials must possess the ability to absorb shock during a fall as well as wear and environmental conditions.  The ProPlay Series artificial playground turf is designed with these guidelines in mind.

The ProPlay Series is one of the safest and most durable artificial lawn surfaces available on the market today. Ideal for playgrounds, ProPlay is manufactured using soft and forgiving Polyethylene. This amazing material is tough enough to withstand the stress of heavy-duty-all-weather use, yet gentle enough to protect children from impact injuries.

Traditional protective surfacing material recommended by the CPSC includes wood chips, fine sand, double shredded bark mulch and fine gravel. However, the 100 percent crumb rubber infill of the ProPlay Series offers a safer surface than these loose-fill materials.

Along with offering a safe and durable surface for playgrounds, another benefit to artificial grass is cost. Artificial grass is affordable and easy to maintain, eliminating the need for watering, weeding, mowing and other maintenance costs.
