The standard of school grounds in our communities vary considerably from dusty hard surfaces which are pretty unfriendly when it comes to the inevitable playground tumbles to some pretty lush, comfortable and vibrant play settings.
One common challenge that many school and childcare centres face is trying to make their old or poorly maintained facilities suitable and appealing for children to partake in sports and play activities. Physical activity is essential for children at every stage for their physical development, not to mention the growing problem on childhood obesity which has become a greater concern for health authorities in many developed countries. And so the importance of a suitable playing environment should not be understated.
Thankfully, Green Planet Grass has a variety of solutions that can help entice kids to get active in an attractive environment, creating a range of soft polyethylene, hard-wearing and long-lasting synthetic grasses suitable for playgrounds and heavily-used areas.
Most importantly, the Green Planet Grass range of synthetic grass products is completely non-toxic and is not harmful to children or pets. In many ways it provides a perfect surface requiring minimal maintenance that will transform play areas into highly attractive and versatile child-friendly environments.
An important aspect of supplying play surfaces is getting the design right and Green Planet Grass have an in-house design and installation team to ensure that every aspect of the job from initial design through to supply and installation is carried out with the highest attention to detail.
If you want to create a great playing surface for the kids, it is well worth checking out the Multi-play range of lawns provided by Green Planet Grass, which include many bright colours. Using these different colours means all manner of activity zones can be incorporated into one area (running tracks, hop scotch, four square etc). Additional line markings can also be integrated to allow for sports such as 5-a-side soccer, basketball, cricket and tennis to be included in general play areas. It is also worth considering the use of rubber shock pads compliant with Australian safety standards, which are installed under the grass eliminating the danger of injury.
Not only is it important for play areas to be stimulating, safe and practical, but synthetic grass surfaces should provide long life and low maintenance lawn, which can be used throughout the year, for many years to come.
