Tiger Turf Provides Specialist Synthetic Turf In Australian Schools

Australian schools have historically installed multi-sports areas for tennis, netball hockey and cricket practice but more and more are looking at specialist hockey pitches, football fields and playground areas, the objective being to drive participation, skill levels and competitiveness while keeping costs and maintenance to a minimum and during the summer. TigerTurf have completed numerous installations into Australian schools, providing multi-sports areas and playgrounds.

It is well known that playground games can help keep Australian kids active, as well as providing learning opportunities and with TigerTurf’s colourful play surfaces, schools can create fantastic outdoor play areas where our kids can have fun and adventures while they learn. Synthetic grass play surfaces are a safe, soft, durable and inviting option for schools and these colourful playground turfs are usable all year round, requiring little or no maintenance while remaining colourful and cheerful for many years. Properly installed systems such as TigerTurf’s L.I.F.E. (Learning In Fun Environments) surfaces have underlay cushioning installed beneath the surface. These are tested for “Critical Fall Height” to confirm that they meet a range of soft fall to critical fall height regulations up to three metres. TigerTurf’s playground surfaces undergo regular independent testing to verify that TigerTurf products exceed Australian safety standards.

As classrooms and other buildings encroach on what were once the green spaces of schools, it becomes harder for them to provide welcoming and relaxing areas for their students to chill out in.  Incorporating synthetic grass areas within school campuses is a popular option, allowing schools to provide more appealing spaces while reducing costs spent on maintaining these areas. Some schools have found that even previously unused and unpopular areas have been transformed into popular zones with the addition of a synthetic grass surface, which enhances the area while harmonising with the natural environment around the campus.

Synthetic turf sport surfaces need far less maintenance than natural turf fields need, but, to get the best performance from your TigerTurf synthetic grass surface, certain carefully followed maintenance procedures will not only improve how the synthetic turf surface plays but will also extend its life span.

Multi-sport surfaces are designed and installed to meet the unique requirements of each school, not only providing much needed all-weather sporting facilities but also reflecting the school’s values, culture, preferences, and curriculum requirements. There is a huge choice of surfaces for school multi-sport courts with new, innovative products being introduced that are suitable for many different sports, as well as softer and more durable than other sports surfaces.
