Grass
Grass surfacing for lower-risk playground settings where natural turf is suitable, subject to site conditions, maintenance and risk assessment.
Grass can be suitable in some playground settings where the equipment, fall heights, soil depth and maintenance approach all support its use.
It is best considered early in the design so the play equipment, traffic routes and ground conditions can be reviewed together.
Considerations
- Natural grass surface
- Suitability depends on equipment and fall height
- Needs suitable ground conditions and maintenance
- Higher-wear areas may need another surfacing option
- Subject to risk assessment and site review
