Kids need playgrounds to grow and learn but don't always have safe play spaces. Natural grass has risks, despite what most people think. Because of this, parks with fake grass are becoming more and more popular.
Find out why using Luxury Turf fake grass in San Tan Valley playgrounds is better than natural grass.
Why Playgrounds Can't Have Natural Grass?
But the lack of grass padding isn't the only hiding danger. Here are some more ways it makes parks dangerous for kids.
Allergens
Children allergic to pollen may have an allergic reaction to playgrounds with grass.
Wet, muddy places
Since water takes a long time to drain in the soil, parks with grass flooring often have puddles full of bacteria.
Different terrain
Children's shoes can make the grass uneven, making it more possible for someone to trip and fall.
Danger! Things That Are Hidden
Rocks and grass seeds can be hidden by tall, wild grass because it can grow up to 10 inches tall.
Why Playgrounds With Luxury Turf Fake Grass Are Safe
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has ensured that high-quality fake grass is safe.
With this certification, the turf has been tested and shown to meet industry standards for vertical, shock absorption, and reducing head contact. To keep from getting hurt, you must have these safety measures.
It Softens The Impact Of The Fall.
The base of fake grass is padded to make it more comfortable. The protection on its surface makes it less likely that kids will break bones or get concussions if they fall or slip on it.
This makes it great for playground equipment like monkey bars and jungle gyms, which allow kids to practice climbing.
No bugs or animals live here.
Pests like insects, rats, snakes, and birds hang out in playgrounds with natural grass.
Children could get hurt if they played in or near these. Artificial grass does not provide a food source or a safe place for insects and other pests, so it is not attractive to them.
It doesn't need dangerous chemicals (like weed killer)
If you put grass, there won't be any bugs or weeds, and the playground will still look great.
You don't need chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides to help it grow. Children are not at risk of getting sick from these dangerous chemicals.
Safe for Allergy Sufferers
Artificial grass does not have allergens like pollen, animals, dirt, or dust. That means kids who play on it won't get sick if they have allergies. The same is true for the nearby parents or guardians.
Drains water quickly
Artificial grass is made to be porous, so water drains through it more quickly and quickly than through natural grass. Because it doesn't collect puddles of dirty water, germs, and bacteria can't grow on its surface.
Also, artificial grass doesn't get slippery when wet like natural grass. Instead, it gives you some grip, making it less likely you will slip and fall. So, kids can still play there even though it's raining.
