Artificial Grass for Playground

A playground surface is more than a ground cover — it is a safety system. The critical fall height of play equipment determines the level of impact absorption the surface must provide. A climbing frame with a 2-meter platform requires a different surface specification than a ground-level sandpit.

Relyir addresses this by pairing the turf with an optional foam shock pad. The pad thickness is calculated based on the equipment’s critical fall height, and the turf-p pad combination is tested as a system. For projects requiring compliance with specific playground safety standards, we provide the product specifications and work with your testing laboratory through the verification process.

Beyond safety, the surface needs to handle extreme wear. Children run, slide, crawl and drag equipment across the same high-traffic zones every day. Dense, short-pile turf resists abrasion and fiber pull-out in these zones, while mid-pile models serve open play areas where the wear is more distributed.

Color transforms a playground from a flat green surface into an engaging environment. Relyir’s colored turf range allows designers to create game courts, hopscotch patterns, road networks, ocean themes and brand-specific designs directly in the surface — no paint, no stickers, no maintenance.

For schools and municipalities, the investment in synthetic playground turf eliminates the ongoing costs of replacing loose-fill materials (rubber mulch, wood chips, sand) that scatter, compact and require annual top-up. The synthetic surface stays in place, drains after rain and needs only periodic brushing to maintain.
