Episode #58: Understanding Playground Surfacing: Unitary Materials

The Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast

Park surfacing is a key feature of a safe playground. We’ve come a long way from the sand and gravel playgrounds of future generations.

In the last episode, we discussed the various loose-fill materials used for playground surfaces. For some playgrounds, loose-fill materials make a suitable playground surface solution. However, this type of playground surfacing has some drawbacks, which may make you wonder what else is available.

Parks and recreation agencies looking for more accessible, consistent surfacing may use unitary materials for their playgrounds.

In this episode of the Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast, we discuss some options for unitary surfacing, how well they perform, and the maintenance needed to keep them in the best condition.
