Playground Ground Cover: Ensuring a Safe Play Environment
At Creative Recreation Products, we are dedicated to ensuring that every playground we design not only excites and engages children but also provides a safe environment for play. In Orlando, Tampa, and surrounding areas of Florida, where playgrounds experience diverse weather conditions, selecting the right safety surfacing is essential for reducing the risk of injuries and ensuring a secure play experience.
Why Safety Surfacing Matters
Playground safety surfacing is crucial for absorbing the impact from falls, which are a leading cause of playground injuries. The right ground cover helps cushion falls and mitigate potential harm, adhering to industry safety standards. Our comprehensive range of safety surfacing options is designed to offer optimal impact absorption, durability, and ease of maintenance, ensuring a safe and enjoyable play environment.
Our Safety Surfacing Options
Wood Mulch
Wood mulch, also known as wood chips or bark mulch, is a type of organic ground cover used in landscaping and playgrounds. It is made from shredded or chipped wood, often derived from tree bark, sawmill residue, or branches. Wood mulch is a popular choice for various applications due to its versatility, aesthetic appeal, and functional benefits.
Rubber Mulch
Made from recycled rubber, this option provides superior cushioning and durability. It’s weather-resistant, making it a long-lasting choice that requires minimal maintenance while offering excellent impact protection.
Synthetic Safety Turf
Combining the appearance of natural grass with the benefits of synthetic materials, artificial turf provides a soft, resilient surface suitable for high-traffic areas. It offers a safe landing while maintaining an appealing look.
Poured-in-Place Rubber
For a seamless, highly durable surface, poured-in-place rubber is ideal. It can be customized in various colors and patterns, providing both safety and visual appeal. It is also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring a long-lasting, attractive playground.

Selecting the appropriate playground ground cover involves evaluating factors such as the type of play equipment, anticipated foot traffic, and local climate.
