Commercial Playground Surface Pricing Guide

By / June 13, 2024

In this post, we’ll delve into the world of playground surfaces, exploring the various options available and their unique benefits. From safety to durability, aesthetics to maintenance, we’ll cover all the factors you need to consider when choosing the perfect flooring for your playground. 

Whether you’re a school administrator, a city planner, or a parent passionate about play, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to make an informed decision. 

When it comes to commercial playground equipment, there’s a wide range of options available. Whether you’re designing a play area for a park, school, daycare, or church, it’s essential to consider safety, durability, and cost.

Diverse Selection: Commercial playgrounds offer a diverse selection of play structures, climbers, slides, swing sets, and more. These are designed to meet safety standards set by organizations like CSPC, ASTM, and IPEMA1, and the flooring options are diverse as well.

You could in theory have two or three different types of playground surfaces, from mulch to poured-in-place to tiles.

Materials and Durability: Industrial-grade materials ensure longevity and withstand heavy use. Customization options are available to fit specific needs, including accessible designs for children with disabilities.

Let’s dive into playground flooring options:

Rubber Mulch: Made from recycled rubber, this loose-fill material provides excellent impact absorption. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and comes in various colors. However, it may require replenishing over time.

Poured-in-Place (PIP) Rubber: A seamless surface created by mixing rubber granules with a binder and pouring it in place. PIP rubber is slip-resistant, accessible, and customizable. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas.

Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF): Made from shredded wood, EWF is cost-effective and provides good impact attenuation. However, it requires regular maintenance to prevent compaction and displacement.

Synthetic Turf: Synthetic grass offers a natural look without the mud. It’s soft underfoot, but proper drainage and infill are crucial. Maintenance involves brushing and occasional disinfection.

Tiles and Mats: Interlocking rubber tiles or mats provide a stable surface. They’re easy to install, replace, and clean. Consider thickness and fall height requirements.
