Playground Grass™ offers a superior playground surface that outperforms in every way.
If you are looking for the best value in a playground surface that will last longer, need less maintenance, and improve play, the choice is easy. No other surface compares to Playground Grass.
Playground Grass is…
Durable
When you invest in a playground, you want to be sure it provides maximum safety for as long as possible. Playground Grass lasts longer than most safety surfacing you’ll find, and it comes backed by our 15-year warranty.
Clean
There’s enough mess in life without the added grime on kids, clothes, and floors after being on the playground. Other surfaces such as mulch, sand, or even other synthetic grass with exposed crumb rubber leave kids a mess.
Playground Grass, on the other hand, offers a clean, easy-to-maintain surface. It’s a unitary surface that requires very little infill and in some cases, none.
Accessible
Playground Grass passes the ASTM 1951 test for ADA accessibility, meaning that wheelchairs can easily roll across it. And we don’t just have our product tested in the lab. We go the extra mile to ensure it actually works for the long haul in real-world use. Proprietors are proud to offer a truly accessible playground surfaced with Playground Grass.
Antistatic
Some surfaces build up static, which is annoying when you get shocked, and may interfere with cochlear implants and other electronic devices. Playground Grass Ultra is the only playground surface on the market with XStatic™ antistatic technology built into the blades.
Antimicrobial
We all know it’s natural for kids to be gross sometimes. They get sick, they have accidents; it happens. And if it’s not the kids, it’s the weather.
We can’t stop these things from happening, but with the antimicrobial properties of Playground Grass Ultra, you can inhibit the growth of bacteria on your turf. And as the blades wear, the more antimicrobial action is released.
Safe
Since the invention of Playground Grass by ForeverLawn in 2004, we have strived to not only meet the minimums needed for safety but to surpass them!
ForeverLawn continues to invest in research and development to provide the best fall protection available to all who play on our products.
