Artificial Grass for Playgrounds: Safe Surfaces for Kids

Artificial grass creates a clean, safe, and mud-free play surface for children. With proper shock-absorption underlay, synthetic turf can meet Australian playground safety standards (AS 4422), making it suitable for both home play areas and commercial playgrounds.

Safety Considerations

  • Shock pad underlay — Foam underlay absorbs impact from falls. Required for fall heights above 500mm.
  • Non-toxic materials — Choose products certified as lead-free and non-toxic for children.
  • Temperature — Artificial grass can get warm in direct sun. Shade structures or trees help. Melbourne’s climate is generally mild enough for year-round use.
