The Benefits of Playground Surfacing
Playground surfacing is a fundamental element of playground safety. Injuries incurred on or around the playground account for 500,000 doctor visit worthy injuries a year, and 200,000 of those injuries being worthy of a visit to the emergency room according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Using the proper surface material can help minimize and reduce the risk of kids sustaining these sorts of injuries on your playground.
There are many different options when it comes to playground surfaces. Other things to think about are whether or not the playground surfacing has been IPEMA and ADA certified. IPEMA is a certification for playground surfacing that it is “fall safe” established and tested by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The ADA certifies that surfaces are wheel chair friendly or not. Both are vital in whichever material you decide to go with on your playground and both are requirements for our products.
