Playground Turf Overview
Artificial grass for playgrounds must meet higher safety and performance standards than standard landscape turf. The Playground Score evaluates key factors such as softness, accessibility, durability, and heat behavior to determine suitability for schools, parks, and residential play areas.
ADA Accessibility
ADA accessibility evaluates compliance with mobility standards, including wheelchair access and surface stability. This is typically based on standardized testing such as ASTM F1951. Higher scores indicate better accessibility and inclusivity.
Softness Score
Softness reflects how comfortable and impact-absorbing the turf feels. It is influenced by fiber material, density, and pile structure. Higher softness improves safety and comfort for children during play.
Durability Score
Durability measures the turf’s ability to withstand continuous foot traffic and play activity. It is based on turf density, yarn strength, fiber thickness, and construction quality. Playground turf must maintain structure under repeated use.
Balance Score
Balance between softness and durability
Heat Comfort Score
Heat comfort measures how much heat the surface retains in sunlight. Playground turf benefits from materials and colors that reduce surface temperature to improve safety and usability in warm conditions.
