Most playground turf is made from synthetic fibers tufted into a backing material. Premium turf systems like SprintPlay Optimum incorporate specialized backing technologies and fiber constructions for enhanced safety and durability.
How does playground artificial turf handle rain and drainage?
Artificial turf for playgrounds is designed to drain water through perforations in its backing layer, allowing rain to pass through rather than pool on the surface. SprintPlay Optimum uses ProFlow™ backing, which is engineered for high-capacity drainage, reducing puddles, minimizing slip hazards, and returning play areas to use faster after rain.
