Safe, Kid-Friendly Playground Turf
If there’s one thing children love, the ability to play and run outside in the grass. When it comes to caregivers, teachers, guardians, all you want is for your kids to enjoy themselves in a safe environment. Indoor or outdoor artificial grass for playgrounds provides a comfortable and safe environment that offers peace of mind while keeping kids happy.
Why Not Traditional Playground Flooring?
Options like sand or wood chips in playgrounds are not ideal as they can erode, compact and disperse over time, leaving a very thin coverage for children to play. Synthetic playground turf is an ideal solution as it’s installed on an immovable base and can last 15-20 years.
Reduce School & Daycare Injuries
In 2015, over 1500 kids were sent to the emergency room for injuries sustained on the playground, according to the Canadian Public Health Association.
For kids, playtime often means running and jumping, leading to slipping and falling. Since kids are naturally injury-prone, public playgrounds and daycares must adhere to specific requirements and regulations to mulch or even sand are not ideal flooring options compared to playground turf from Echoing Green.
From the material components to installation, our specialty artificial grass in Toronto is designed to reduce the potential injuries during playtime while enabling kids to still act like kids.
- Drainage: When surfaces become more slippery, children are more susceptible to injury. Wet pavement or natural grass exposed to rainfall or other precipitation becomes a fall hazard almost immediately. Artificial grass in Toronto from Echoing Green is designed with advanced, permeable polyurethane backings that allow water to flow and drain without pooling or collecting at the surface to avoid the potential for slips.
- Underpadding: When a child trips, the impact of the fall influences the severity of the injury that follows. When landing on hardscapes such as concrete or asphalt, the physical impact will be much harsher than artificial grass for playgrounds. Installed with EchoPlay under padding, our playground turf offers exceptional shock-absorbency with a fall rating that accounts for the critical fall height.
- Easy to Clean: Part of caring for children at a daycare or school is maintaining a clean and sanitary environment. But having a class of multiple children can leave little time for cleanup. However, unlike other, less porous flooring options, artificial grass for playgrounds makes for a fast cleaning experience. Simple spills can be easily wiped up, eliminating the risk of falls and allowing instructors to focus their time on the children.
About EchoPlay Underpadding and Your Playground Turf
Synthetic playground turf with our EchoPlay under pad meets safety requirements and will help mitigate serious injuries. We offer a 1” EchoPlay, which provides a 6’ fall rating, or a thicker 2” EchoPlay, which offers a 12’ fall rating. This underpadding is also highly drainable. We also offer our Echo Custom grass with a foam underlay that can be customized for various playground uses.
Why Choose Artificial Grass for Playgrounds & Daycares?
- Customizable: artificial grass for playgrounds and daycares doesn’t have to be boring. With Echoing Green, you choose from colours other than green, or mix and match with varying patterns, shapes, lengths, and designs for a fun and attractive environment that keeps your classes interested.
- Cost-Effective: Artificial grass in Toronto is a cost-effective investment that lasts for many years. Unlike natural grass, artificial grass for playgrounds requires no additional maintenance staff or equipment to keep it performing at its peak for many years. At Echoing Green, all of our grasses are backed by a ten-year warranty.
- Durability: Kids can throw a lot of their environment, and turf is no exception. Whether it’s tugging, pulling, or kicking, our playground turf is designed to be tough and resist the wear and tear of regular use.
- Non-Toxic: There are no harsh chemicals used in the production of playground turf from Echoing Green. All treatments are non-toxic, ensuring safe use by people of all ages. Additionally, artificial grass for playgrounds is installed with advanced infill equipped with Microban technology to intercept the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew and prevent related illness.

Les Wakeling
After 3 years of contemplating turf installation I decided this was the right time. I contacted Echoing Green amongst a few other suppliers however the others were only content to provide an online estimate from my measurements where Caryn with attention to detail scheduled a visit. Caryn was very engaged and was in constant communication up to the install date. Installation team was very knowledgeable, attentive to detail and did a wonderful job.

Caryn who came initially to measure and give us a quote was very professional and listened to what we wanted. She also communicated regularly to give us any updates.

Jacob BD
We did a lot of research on artificial grass and asked for a few quotes from specialized companies in the GTA. Echoing green were fast to respond and provide a fair quote for our front yard (approx 500 sqft). Caryn was knowledgeable and came for a site visit to measure and answer questions before giving us the final quote and scheduled the installation for July. Highly recommend artificial turf and the services of Echoing Green.
