Rubber mulch for playgrounds has become the surfacing material of choice. Due to its low-cost long-term maintenance, durability, and shock-absorbing capabilities, it is the choicest option for homeowners, parks, and schools. It also offers better weather-resistance and safety compared to traditional wood mulch and sand, meaning long-term costs will be lowered compared to other materials. […]

It’s important to consider that the effectiveness of rubber mulch in preventing injuries is contingent on its application over softer ground, not hard surfaces such as concrete. By ensuring a sufficient depth of rubber mulch and a proper underlying surface, playgrounds can be transformed into havens of fun and safety, where the risks of injury from falls are significantly reduced.
