Playgrounds and Artificial Grass at Schools

School playgrounds are where countless childhood memories are forged, from friendships to seasonal games that left lasting impressions during our early school years. The playground surfaces that Grass!365 Long Island can install today far surpass those from our past. With escalating maintenance budgets, increased student traffic, and a greater emphasis on safety and cushioned surfaces than in previous decades, artificial turf for playgrounds addresses these modern challenges effectively.

Grass!365 Long Island offers playground turf installations that extend beyond just the area under playground equipment. They create versatile open spaces suitable for a variety of games, play, and sports. The padding beneath the turf meets fall height requirements for playground safety, while also providing a resilient base for sports or activity fields, tested for head impact and durable against high foot traffic. By opting for artificial turf, schools can eliminate the need for natural grass maintenance, conserve water, reduce emissions, and provide safer, consistently excellent playing surfaces year-round.

Playground Turf for Day Cares

Safety surfaces are essential not only for older children but also for toddlers who are crawling or just learning to walk. Keeping both children and buildings clean is a continuous challenge, and an artificial grass playground surface can significantly help in this regard for students of all ages and teachers alike. Mulch can spread with rain and heavy use, sticking to socks and tracking dirt into buildings, which only worsens as it decomposes. Rubber mulch shares similar drawbacks and often looks unappealing. While poured-in-place rubber holds up well for several years, it eventually degrades due to exposure to foot traffic and sunlight. Artificial turf playground surfaces, however, encapsulate the safety padding, offering durable, attractive play areas that last for many years without these issues. These surfaces are not just for older children; they are also ideal for kindergarten and daycare settings.

Long Island Artificial Turf Playgrounds

First Playground Turf Design

In designing playgrounds for schools or parks, Grass!365 Long Island first assess the equipment and space to determine the requirements, then examine the property, how children interact with these areas, and explore potential enhancements. We aim to provide a thorough evaluation, not just for the initial project but for the entire campus. We see ourselves as your long-term partner, where this initial playground installation marks the beginning of a lasting relationship, contributing to the growth and success of your campus and organization.

Playground Turf under Swings

Many of us recall the thrill of swinging so high and fast that we soared above the crossbar, where the physics of swinging would suddenly go awry due to the slack in the chains, or when a vigorous push or running start from an adult sent us soaring higher than ever. Swinging has been an integral part of playgrounds and childhood play for generations. Typically, we didn’t think much about what was beneath the swing unless it was a rope swing over water. Grass!365 Long Island installs artificial turf under swings, with manufacturers specifying a fall height rating and safety zone. We ensure that our tested and certified playground surfaces are installed where necessary, providing padding to cushion any falls. We love watching children swing and feel reassured knowing there’s extra safety padding underneath.

Residential Playground Turf

While most of Grass!365 Long Island’s playground padding installations occur at schools, parks, and churches, we also handle numerous backyard projects. This particular installation caters to the family’s golfers, offering an ideal spot for chipping and honing their short game, while also keeping a watchful eye on the younger ones enjoying the jungle gym. Integrating a playground surface right next to a golf green created a delightful space. The parents are aware that once their children grow up, the play structure can be removed, thereby enhancing the golfing area. Additionally, the space could be repurposed for extra seating or a fire pit in the future. Currently, the setup allows the whole family to create lasting memories, with golf and play seamlessly side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is playground turf compliant with safety regulations?

Yes. Reputable playground turf systems, including those from Grass!365, are tested to meet or exceed ASTM safety standards for fall attenuation. Grass!365 offers Certified Playground Surfaces installed by Certified Expert Installers so you know you are getting the very best.

How do I clean and maintain a playground turf area?

Regularly remove leaves and debris, rinse away spills, and occasionally sanitize high-traffic areas. For large commercial playgrounds, scheduled brushing and inspections keep the surface safe and clean.

Do turf playgrounds get hot in the sun?

Synthetic surfaces can become hot when exposed to direct sunlight. However, technologies such as cooling infills or opting for lighter-colored turf can mitigate this by reducing surface temperatures. It’s advisable to always check the temperature of the surface before letting children play on it. Shade structures are required in some municipalities to protect children from the sun.
