Playgrounds are essential for kids' growth and development, but they don't always have safe surfaces. Despite widespread belief, natural grass isn't without its risks. Because of this, artificial turf playgrounds are increasingly popular.

Get the facts on why using Luxury Turf artificial grass in San Tan Valley playgrounds is preferable to natural grass.

 

Why Natural Grass Is Not Safe for Playgrounds?

However, the lack of cushioning from grass is not the only hidden danger. Here are some additional ways it endangers children at playgrounds.

 

Allergens

Playgrounds with grass can trigger allergic reactions in children who are sensitive to pollen.

Wet and Muddy Areas

Since water takes its time draining in the soil, puddles full of bacteria are common in playgrounds with grass flooring.

Variable Topography

The grass can become uneven from children's shoes, making it more likely that someone will trip and fall.

Danger! Hidden Pointy Things

Rocks and grass seeds can be concealed by tall, natural grass because of its ability to grow to a height of up to 10 inches.

 

Why Luxury Turf Fake Grass Playgrounds Are Safe

Premium artificial grass has been tested and approved as safe by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

The turf has been tested and proven to meet industry standards for vertical, shock absorption, and attenuation of head impact thanks to this certification. Having these safety features is essential for avoiding harm.

 

It makes a cushion for the fall.

The base of synthetic turf is cushioned for extra comfort. The padding on its surface reduces the severity of injuries like broken bones and concussions that can occur when children fall or slip on it.

This makes it perfect for use on playground structures like monkey bars and jungle gyms, which allow children to practice their climbing skills.

 

There are no bugs or rodents here.

Playgrounds with natural grass attract unwanted pests, such as insects, rodents, snakes, and birds.

Playing in or near these poses a risk to children. In addition, insects and other pests are not attracted to artificial grass because it does not serve as a food source or a haven.

 

It Doesn't Require Harmful Substances (weed killer)

There won't be any pest problems, no weeds will grow, and the playground will still look great if you plant grass.

It can grow successfully without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides. These toxic chemicals pose no health risk to children.

 

Safe for Allergy Sufferers

Allergens such as pollen, insects, dirt, and dust are not present in artificial grass. That means there won't be any allergic reactions from kids playing on it. The nearby parents or guardians are in the same position.

 

Rapidly Drains Water

Compared to natural grass, water quickly and easily drains through artificial grass because of its porous construction. There is no way for germs and bacteria to breed on its surface because it does not collect puddles of dirty water.

In addition, synthetic grass keeps none of the inherent slipperiness of natural grass when wet. Instead, it provides some grip, making it less likely that you will slip and fall. So, despite the rain, it is still safe for kids to play on.
