Additional Information
Cushioned, Low-Friction Artificial Turf for Safe and Colorful Play Areas and Activity Zones

SYNPlay 48 with Pad takes everything that makes SYNPlay 48 a trusted surface for active play and agility training and adds an integrated 5mm cushion pad engineered specifically to enhance safety and comfort for kids and athletes. The energy-absorbing pad works in concert with the product’s low-pile, low-friction fiber construction to minimize impact forces during falls, reduce the risk of turf burns and abrasions, and create a forgiving, consistently safe surface that parents, coaches, and facility managers can rely on. Constructed with texturized polyethylene fibers, the turf surface itself is soft and non-abrasive against skin, making it equally appropriate for barefoot play, athletic training, agility courses, and high-movement recreational activities where surface contact is frequent and safety is non-negotiable.

Like its no-pad counterpart, SYNPlay 48 with Pad is available in a broad range of in-stock colors with custom logo and pattern design capabilities, giving schools, gyms, daycares, and recreational facilities the freedom to create branded, visually engaging spaces that motivate and inspire active use. Its durable, high-traffic construction withstands the sustained demands of busy indoor and outdoor environments without degrading in appearance or performance, while its low-maintenance design eliminates the need for watering, mowing, or chemical treatments. Whether installed in a school gymnasium, a daycare play zone, an outdoor playground, or a commercial fitness facility, SYNPlay 48 with Pad delivers the ideal combination of injury prevention, vibrant aesthetics, and long-term durability.
