Improve kids’ safety with artificial grass
Artificial grass is a safe option for school play areas, offering a soft and even surface that helps protect children from slips, trips, and falls. Unlike some surfaces, artificial turf is designed to be free from harsh chemicals and harmful substances, ensuring a safe environment for kids to play. All synthetic turf products used in schools are constructed to meet strict safety standards, so you can be confident that your play areas are free from lead and other toxic materials.
In addition to playgrounds, artificial grass is ideal for sports courts and other high-traffic areas, thanks to its excellent drainage and durable construction. This means fewer accidents caused by slippery or uneven ground, and a consistently safe surface for all types of play. With artificial turf, schools can create inviting, long-lasting play areas that keep children safe and active, no matter the weather.

A safe space for kids
Why choose artificial grass for schools?
Artificial grass is an excellent choice for schools looking to create safe, attractive, and functional play areas. One of the main benefits of installing artificial grass is its ability to withstand high traffic areas, making it perfect for spaces where many children play every day. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf remains lush and green year round, regardless of weather conditions. This means no more muddy patches or waterlogged fields after heavy rain—kids can enjoy the play area in any season.
Artificial grass also features excellent drainage, so water quickly moves away from the surface, reducing the risk of puddles and slippery spots. This creates a safer environment for children and ensures the play area is always ready for use. With minimal maintenance required, schools can save time and resources, focusing more on education and less on lawn care. The durability and resilience of artificial turf make it a smart investment for any school looking to provide a reliable, long-lasting surface for play and learning.
Introduction to Synthetic Turf
Synthetic turf, often referred to as artificial grass, is a specially engineered surface designed to replicate the look and feel of natural grass. Made from high-quality materials like polypropylene or polyethylene, synthetic turf products are built to handle the demands of busy school environments and the unpredictable Australian weather. Many schools and child care centres across Australia are choosing Australian-made synthetic turf for its proven durability, safety, and suitability for local conditions.
One of the standout features of synthetic turf is its low maintenance requirements. Unlike natural grass, which needs regular mowing, watering, and fertilising, synthetic turf stays looking fresh and green with minimal effort. This makes it an ideal surface for schools, residential properties, and community spaces where quality, safety, and appearance matter. With a range of options available, schools can select the perfect turf to suit their needs, ensuring a long-lasting and attractive play area for children.
Comparison to Natural Grass
When weighing up artificial grass versus natural grass, the advantages of synthetic turf quickly become clear. Artificial turf requires far less maintenance. No mowing, watering, or fertilising is needed, and there’s no need to worry about grass seeds or weeds. This means less time and money spent on upkeep, and more time for children to enjoy the play area.
Artificial grass is also hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for children who suffer from grass allergies. With no grass seeds or pollen, kids can play freely without the risk of allergic reactions. In terms of durability, synthetic turf stands up to heavy use and harsh weather far better than natural grass, maintaining its appearance and performance over the long term. While the initial cost to install artificial turf may be higher than laying real grass, the long-lasting, low maintenance nature of artificial grass makes it a cost-effective solution for schools in the long run.
Play area considerations
When planning a play area for your school, it’s important to choose a surface that is both safe and durable. Artificial grass is a popular choice for school play areas because it provides a soft, even surface that’s gentle on kids’ feet and knees. Its low maintenance requirements mean less time spent on cleaning and repairs, and more time for children to enjoy the space.
Artificial turf also offers a wide range of colours and textures, allowing schools to create visually appealing play areas that inspire creativity and fun. Whether you’re designing a new lawn for a child care centre or upgrading an existing playground, artificial grass can be tailored to suit your needs, ensuring a safe, attractive, and long-lasting play area for all.
Designing Safe and Engaging Spaces
Creating safe and engaging spaces for children is a top priority for schools. Artificial grass can be used to design a variety of play areas, from traditional playgrounds and sports courts to imaginative spaces like mini golf courses or themed obstacle courses. The versatility of artificial turf allows schools to customise their play areas to suit the needs and interests of their students.
When designing these spaces, it’s important to consider features like soft fall rubber underlays or other safety enhancements to further reduce the risk of injury. Artificial turf can also be used to create multi-purpose areas, such as picnic spots or walking trails, encouraging kids to stay active and engaged throughout the school day. With a wide range of options available, schools can create unique, safe, and stimulating environments that support learning, play, and development.
