Commercial Artificial Grass for Playgrounds

Playground Safety Surfacing

Safety is always of the utmost importance when it comes to children. That's why public playgrounds such as schools and parks should look to artificial grass as the safety surface of choice. Playground turf by Turf Tek provides a safe, low-maintenance, long-lasting surface that can stand up to whatever your little players dish out. Our playground underlayment system, with our exclusive padding, turf, and infill, is safer than mulch, dirt, or even natural grass. It ensures a soft landing every time, and our patented "Heat Block" technology can keep your play area up to 17.5°F cooler than other artificial grass systems.

Smart Surfacing For Modern Playgrounds

Synthetic grass offers playgrounds a safer, cleaner, and more consistent surface compared to natural grass or loose-fill materials. Our proprietary engineered installation system includes shock-absorbing underlayment that meets industry fall-height safety standards, helping reduce the risk of injuries. Unlike mulch or wood chips that scatter, compact, or create uneven areas, synthetic turf stays uniform, reducing tripping hazards and ensuring a reliable play surface throughout the year. Its non-abrasive fibers are gentle on hands and knees, making play more comfortable for children of all ages.

In addition to safety, synthetic grass provides long-term durability and low-maintenance benefits for schools, parks, and recreational facilities. It withstands heavy foot traffic, constant play, and varying weather conditions without becoming muddy, patchy, or worn down. Maintenance is simple—no mowing, watering, or chemical treatments are required—resulting in lower operational costs and a cleaner play environment. The vibrant, always-green appearance enhances the overall look of the playground, while integrated drainage ensures rapid drying so children can return to play quickly after rain.

Synthetic turf is great for commercial playgrounds, day cares, school yards and playgrounds, churches, synagogues, temples, public parks, courtyards, common areas and anywhere else that a durable, beautiful, grass-like surface!
