PlayCrete™ Playground & Wet Play Safety Surfacing
Poured-In-Place Rubber Surfacing for Commercial Play Environments
PlayCrete™ is a poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing system designed for commercial playgrounds, splash pads, and wet play environments where fall protection, slip resistance, and long-term durability are essential.
Installed over a properly prepared base, PlayCrete™ creates a seamless rubber surface that can support critical fall height protection up to 16 feet, depending on system thickness and equipment layout.
From dry playground zones to active water features, surface performance matters.
Designed for Playground & Wet Play Use
PlayCrete™ is suitable for:
- Commercial playgrounds
- School play yards
- Childcare centres
- Splash pads & spray parks
- Water play perimeters
- Community recreation facilities
- Campgrounds & resorts
- Municipal park systems
The seamless installation eliminates joints, loose materials, and displacement common with mulch or modular tiles.
Key Performance Benefits
- Impact-attenuating rubber surface
- Slip-resistant texture options for wet environments
- Firm, stable surface supporting accessibility
- No loose material migration
- Washable and easy to maintain
- Durable wear layer for heavy public use
- Clean, professional appearance
Multi-Layer System
PlayCrete™ is installed as a layered, poured-in-place system:
- Prepared base foundation
- Shock-absorbing impact layer (for playground zones)
- Durable, slip-resistant wear layer
Thickness and surface texture are adjusted depending on whether the area is dry play or wet play.
Built for Commercial Use
PlayCrete™ is specified by:
- Schools
- Commercial childcare operators
- Recreation facilities
- Developers
- Park systems
It delivers predictable performance, improved cleanliness, and reduced lifecycle maintenance compared to loose-fill alternatives.
Poured-In-Place Rubber vs. Loose Fill (Mulch / EWF)
| Criteria | PlayCrete™ Rubber | Loose Fill |
|---|---|---|
| Fall Protection | ✓ Consistent depth | ✕ Can shift |
| Slip Resistance (Wet Areas) | ✓ Textured surface | ✕ Not suitable |
| Accessibility | ✓ Stable & firm | ✕ Uneven surface |
| Hidden Hazards (Glass / Needles) | ✓ Visible on surface | ✕ Can be buried |
| Maintenance | ✓ Minimal | ✕ Ongoing raking & topping up |
Loose-fill materials are not suitable for wet play zones and can migrate or degrade under water exposure.
