Artificial Grass for Schools and Daycares

Reduce School & Daycare Injuries

In 2015, over 1500 kids were sent to the emergency room for injuries sustained on the playground, according to the Canadian Public Health Association.

For kids, playtime often means running and jumping, leading to slipping and falling. Since kids are naturally injury-prone, public playgrounds and daycares must adhere to specific requirements and regulations to mulch or even sand are not ideal flooring options compared to playground turf from Echoing Green.

From the material components to synthetic turf installation, our specialty artificial grass in Toronto is designed to reduce the potential injuries during playtime while enabling kids to still act like kids.

Drainage

When surfaces become more slippery, children are more susceptible to injury. Wet pavement or natural grass exposed to rainfall or other precipitation becomes a fall hazard almost immediately.

Artificial grass in Toronto from Echoing Green is designed with advanced, permeable polyurethane backings that allow water to flow and drain without pooling or collecting at the surface to avoid the potential for slips.

Underpadding

When a child trips, the impact of the fall influences the severity of the injury that follows. When landing on hardscapes such as concrete or asphalt, the physical impact will be much harsher than artificial grass for playgrounds.

Installed with EchoPlay under padding, our playground turf offers exceptional shock-absorbency with a fall rating that accounts for the critical fall height.

Easy to Clean

Part of caring for children at a daycare or school is maintaining a clean and sanitary environment. But having a class of multiple children can leave little time for cleanup.

However, unlike other, less porous flooring options, artificial grass for playgrounds makes for a fast cleaning experience. Simple spills can be easily wiped up, eliminating the risk of falls and allowing instructors to focus their time on the children.
