This is one of the most important decisions you'll make. The various surfacing options affect both the cost and your site's ADA compliance.
-
Accessible Surfacing - PlayDesigns offers
Cushion Play® recycled rubber safety surfacing
that is highly durable and Earth-friendly. Cushion
Play® meets both CPSC safety standards and ADA accessibility guidelines.
-
Playground Surround - If you choose loose fill (such as wood chips) to surround an accessible path, you'll want to contain it to avoid constant upkeep.
PlayDesigns' affordable, easy-to-install Border Timbers will help you meet that
goal.
