Wet pour rubber, Tiger Mulch and Artificial Grass all make for excellent safety surfaces in school play areas. Each surface can be installed to accommodate critical fall heights where necessary.
Furthermore, they will all form great surfaces for running around and helping children let off steam, regardless of whether play equipment is being installed or not.
Expert Advice:
