There are few better examples of how synthetic grass enhances leisure facilities than in the town of Jerramungup.
Pressure on water in the southwest of WA is often highest in agricultural areas where drought combines with domestic and commercial water demands to result in a real strain on resources.
That’s why forward thinking authorities like the Shire of Jerramungup have opted for more sustainable long-term solutions to the amenities they provide for rate payers.
Water savings have been a priority for the Shire, which will be a real benefit over the coming years but the immediate effect is an incredibly eye-catching play area for kids surrounded by attractive lawns for all ages to enjoy.
Of course kids love vibrant, colourful play areas and the fact that Green Planet Grass products for leisure facilities come in a variety of bright colours helps create a really enticing environment for children and families alike.
Available in olive green, forest green, yellow, blue, white, red and orange, Multiplay surfaces are used for a wide range of activities including school playgrounds and child play centres. Green Planet Grass provide and install this soft polyethylene, hard wearing and long lasting 19mm high grasses suitable for various heavily used areas.
The Shire of Jerramungup combined their playground installation with surrounding synthetic lawns to provide a complete solution.
“The synthetic grass installation has been a great aesthetic upgrade to our town playground and provides us with a year-round high quality surface for families,” says Brent Bailey, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at the Shire of Jerramungup.
While the Shire has been delighted with their Green Planet Grass installation, our before and after photos of this stunning transformation tell the story quite emphatically. Roe Park has evolved from a dry and dusty playground to a lush-looking oasis centred around a vibrant and colourful children’s play area.
With water pressures continuing to rise, synthetic grass is becoming a more regular choice for councils, land owners and householders to reduce their irrigation requirements. Highly developed turf technology is becoming an obvious choice because it saves money in the long term (and we all know water bills continue to rise).
The savings also increase when you take maintenance into consideration – no mowing, no fertiliser and no pesticides are necessary to keep synthetic grass great all year round (especially in the summer when natural grass is most likely to be brown than green).
Like Jerramungup, the Shire of Lake Grace is another local government authority making great use of synthetic grass with great benefits for rate payers.
