The Certified, Safety-First Artificial Playground Turf Trusted by School Districts, Municipal Parks, and Families Nationwide

For school district supervisors, parks and recreation managers, and playground architects, the specification decision for a playground surface carries more responsibility than almost any other material choice in a project. The children who use that surface every day depend on it to be safe, consistent, and forgiving, and the administrators, facility managers, and parents who oversee those spaces need the confidence that comes from independently verified, certified performance rather than manufacturer claims alone. Play Premium delivers that confidence comprehensively. IPEMA certified for impact absorption and injury prevention, ASTM E108 Class A Fire Rated, and certified free of heavy metals, it meets every safety standard that school, park, and public recreational facility specifications demand, giving decision-makers the documented, defensible safety credentials that protect both the children in their care and the institutions responsible for them.

For parents, the promise of Play Premium is equally compelling. A consistently smooth, level surface eliminates the uneven terrain that causes trips and falls on traditional playground materials. A dense, low-profile construction that is soft and non-abrasive against children’s skin reduces the scrapes, skin irritation, and impact injuries that harder surfaces cause during active play. Super Drain+™ Technology keeps the surface dry and mud-free through rain and heavy use, so children can play safely immediately after weather events without the hazardous conditions that wet playground surfaces create. USDA Certified Bio-Based construction and non-toxic, lead-free materials give parents the assurance that their children are playing on one of the safest, most environmentally responsible playground surfaces available, and the complete elimination of mowing, watering, and chemical treatments gives facility managers and property owners a surface that looks and performs its best every single day without the ongoing maintenance burden that natural grass and lesser synthetic surfaces demand.
