PlaySafe System. Safety Engineered for Playgrounds.

When it comes to kids, safety isn’t optional, and the PlaySafe System is built to meet that responsibility. FieldTurf’s artificial turf for playground surfacing is tested for fall height protection, ADA accessibility, and long-term durability, giving cities, schools, and parks a cleaner, safer space where kids can play freely and confidently.

Certified Safety Where It Counts

Safety isn’t just a feature; it’s the foundation of a great play space. The PlaySafe System is tested for Critical Fall Height (CFH), Head Injury Criteria (HIC), and is IPEMA-certified to meet national safety standards. Whether you’re building for a school, a park, or a public space, you can trust FieldTurf to provide a solution backed by data and built for peace of mind.

Designed to Handle Real-World Use

Playgrounds are high-traffic environments, and not every surface is made to last. The PlaySafe System is engineered for daily use, with fade-resistant turf and a durable underlayment that resists compaction, matting, and wear. From climbing frames to quiet corners, your surface stays safe and ready for play.

Smarter Drainage. Less Mess.

Wet, muddy surfaces cause downtime and maintenance headaches. The PlaySafe System features our exclusive AquaFlow™ drainage, which moves over 400 inches of water per hour, keeping your play area dry, clean, and accessible after rain or water play.

ADA-Compliant and Built for Inclusion

Every child deserves access to safe, engaging play. That’s why the PlaySafe System is designed with ADA-compliant surfacing and smooth transitions that allow for easy mobility across the entire play space. From strollers to wheelchairs, the surface is built to be as inclusive as it is durable.

Safe Play Starts with the Right Surface

With the PlaySafe System, you’re not just meeting safety requirements, you’re creating a space where kids can play freely
and communities can feel confident. Our synthetic grass for playgrounds is backed by data, tested for performance, and built to last, FieldTurf
helps you deliver playgrounds that are safer, cleaner, and built for real-world use.

“I was spending all of my free time buying fertilizer and trying to maintain my lawn. When I switched to Field Turf Landscape, I finally got my weekends back. And my lawn looks perfect.”

Samantha S.

“We get a lot of rain in our state, and when the grass is wet it’s almost impossible to mow. All of these headaches were solved when we switched to artificial turf, which drains perfectly and doesn’t need to be mowed. Thank you, Field Turf.”

ABOUT Playgrounds

Frequently Asked
Questions About
Playgrounds:

What is AquaFlow?

FieldTurf’s synthetic turf has a proprietary 100% permeable and non-absorbent secondary backing. It drains 10 times faster than real grass and better than any other synthetic turf surface available. Other turf backings can’t effectively drain, quickly leading to odor and bacteria buildup. Only FieldTurf has a synthetic turf product with a 100% porous and 100% permeable backing.

AquaFlow makes cleanup a snap.

How popular is artificial turf for landscape and recreation use?

Artificial turf for landscape, playgrounds, bocce ball and other landscape applications is the fastest growing segment of the synthetic turf market.

How do I choose the right artificial turf?

As the market leader, we have installed turf for a wide range of applications and sizes; playgrounds, multi-purpose fields, pet facilities, military and governmental facilities, driving rages and indoor agility spaces.

That being said, artificial grass comes in many colors, heights, shapes and sizes. Let us help you determine and specify the best turf product for your project.

Do you use rubber infill in your turf?

No! All of our turfs use silica sand, coated sand or organic infills, such as granulated cork or granulated olive cores. Let us determine the right infill for your project.

Is your turf safe for children?

Yes! All of our fibers are tested by third party independent laboratories for more than 20 different heavy metals like arsenic and lead.

We make sure that all our turfs meet stringent requirements, such as EN-71- 3 (Part 3) Toy Testing standards, before installation.
