What type of surfacing is recommended for a commercial playground?
When it comes to plaground surface options, it matters which material you choose. Children need a soft place to land when they jump or fall. Some surfaces offer superior playground fall protection, while other materials are simply unsafe. ParknPool's top recommended surfacing options include: Engineered Wood Fiber (a type of composit mulch that is made from natural wood fibers), Rubber Mulch (Has the shape and texture of wood chips but is made of rubber. It doesn't decompose over time and is an eco-friendly playground surfacing option), and Pour-In-Place (a cushion layer consisting of shredded recycled rubbe. Each layer is custom poured and troweled to ensure an even, safe surface for recreational spaces).
