Surfacing
Durable Surfaces for Safe, Active Play
Playground safety surfacing is essential for creating safe and welcoming play environments. It cushions falls, reduces the risk of injury, and helps ensure children of all ages can explore and play with confidence. All playground surfacing should meet rigorous ASTM safety standards, ensuring proper impact attenuation, durability, and accessibility.
Modern surfacing options are designed to be durable, accessible, and visually appealing, supporting active play while enhancing the overall playground experience. Choosing the right surfacing helps communities provide safe, inclusive, and engaging outdoor spaces for everyone.
