What Is Artificial Grass Playground Safety Surfacing?
An artificial grass playground safety surface system is a layered surfacing solution designed to provide impact attenuation beneath a synthetic grass finish. Unlike standard turf installations, playground-specific artificial grass systems are built to meet safety standards for fall protection while maintaining long-term performance in high-use environments.
​
These systems typically combine:
-
A prepared sub-base
-
A shock-absorbing safety layer
-
Playground-rated artificial grass surfacing
​
When properly designed and installed, artificial grass playground surfacing delivers both safety and visual continuity with natural play environments.
Where Is Artificial Grass Playground Surfacing Used?
Artificial Grass playground safety surfacing is commonly applied in environments that medium to high foot traffic.
School Playgrounds
Daily-use environments where consistent impact attenuation and dependable performance are required throughout the school year.
​Public Parks
Community playgrounds serving a wide range of age groups and usage patterns, often requiring durable and accessible safety surfacing.
Inclusive Playgrounds
Play spaces designed to support accessible routes, smooth transitions, and inclusive play experiences.
Public Realm and Urban Play Spaces
Playgrounds integrated into broader public realm and landscape projects where surfacing must align with overall site design.
Why Choose Artificial Grass for Playground Safety Surfacing?
Artificial grass playground surfacing is often selected for environments where a natural look and feel is desired without compromising safety or durability.
Key benefits include:
-
A natural aesthetic that complements outdoor and nature-based play
-
Consistent surface performance across the play area
-
Improved drainage when designed as a system
-
Compatibility with mixed-material playground designs
​
Artificial grass playground safety surfaces are particularly effective in school campuses, parks, and community play spaces where visual integration matters.


Safety & Performance Considerations
Playground artificial grass systems must be designed to meet applicable fall height and impact attenuation requirements.
Innovista Group supports project teams in selecting artificial grass playground safety surfacing systems that account for:
-
Critical fall height requirements
-
Expected use and traffic patterns
-
Drainage and permeability needs
-
Long-term wear and maintenance expectations
​
Our focus is on ensuring artificial grass playground surfaces perform as intended — not just at installation, but throughout their service life.
Design Integration & Play Experience
Artificial grass playground safety surfacing is often used to create play environments that feel open, calm, and connected to nature.
Bassus works with designers and project teams to integrate artificial grass playground surfaces into broader play and landscape concepts, supporting:
-
Seamless transitions between play zones
-
Integration with natural elements and equipment
-
Custom layouts and detailing
-
Consistent performance across the play space
​
This allows artificial grass playground surfacing to support both creativity and function within the overall design.

Artificial Grass vs Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing
Artificial grass and poured-in-place rubber are both widely used playground safety surfacing systems, each suited to different project goals.
​
Artificial grass playground surfacing is often selected when:
-
A natural or landscape-driven aesthetic is desired
-
Integration with surrounding green spaces is important
-
Visual softness is a priority
​
Poured-in-place rubber playground surfacing is often selected when:
-
High customization and color control are required
-
Maximum durability in high-impact zones is needed
-
A seamless, monolithic surface is preferred
​
Innovista Group helps project teams evaluate which system best supports the intended play experience, site conditions, and long-term use.
