What Is the Perfect Children’s Play Area? Creative Ways to Use Playground Turf

Parents have noticed artificial turf popping up more and more at children’s outdoor playgrounds. It’s not hard to see why; synthetic grass is a foolproof way to create play spaces that are durable, cushioned, and free from the most common allergens and irritants.

Playgrounds aren’t the only way you can use playground turf, however. Artificial turf is an incredibly versatile material that can transform your outdoor and indoor spaces. If you’re looking to elevate your home and create new ways for your kids to have fun, here are a few creative ways artificial grass can help you accomplish that goal.

Using Playground Turf For Indoor Play Areas

Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf doesn’t need soil to thrive, which means it can be installed virtually anywhere you’d like. It’s the perfect way to create indoor play spaces your kids can enjoy no matter what the weather looks like outdoors.

Unlike carpet, artificial turf is durable and stain-resistant; unlike hardwood floors, it’s soft and shock-absorbant, making it ideal for transforming your playroom or basement. Plus, kids love having their own “outdoors” to explore inside your home.

Create a Mini Golf Course With Putting Green Turf 

Mini golf is a tried-and-true way to have some family fun! With artificial putting green turf, you can easily create a fun and imaginative mini golf course right in your backyard. Our putting green turf is made to PGA standards to ensure a long-lasting, natural-looking installation.

Add Artificial Turf to a Sensory Play Station

Sensory play stations are all the rage these days. For younger children, sensory play is one of the best ways to help with cognitive, motion, and emotional development.

Synthetic turf works beautifully in a sensory station. Not only is it a fun texture for kids to engage with, but it’s versatile enough to be used anywhere — from the floor to the walls to seating and table tops. Most importantly, turf is non-toxic and safe for little hands. It’s also manufactured with a rigorous tuft-binding process that ensures fibers can’t be pulled out and accidentally ingested. 

Turn Your Backyard into the Perfect Sports Field

Although artificial grass is now found everywhere, from front lawns to restaurants, it was originally designed for sports fields. Its durability, safety, weather resistance, and uniform surface make it the perfect place for all types of sports. Moreover, modern turf now offers UV inhibitors that prevent color fading and drainage grids for rapid water removal, ensuring your field is always green, dry, and ready for play.
