Playground Turf Installation: Pukete Park Playground Upgrade – A Colourful, Durable Play Surface Designed to Perform
Pukete Park Playground has received a vibrant new upgrade, delivering a safe, engaging and visually striking play space for the local community. This playground turf installation project showcases how modern playground surfacing can combine creativity, durability and safety, while still allowing for custom design elements that make a playground truly unique.
For this playground turf installation, we supplied and installed premium synthetic playground turf laid over a professionally prepared base, ensuring long-term performance in a high-use public environment.
Custom Playground Surfacing Designed for Active Play
A key feature of the Pukete Park playground turf installation is the colourful running track and activity zones integrated into the surface. To achieve this, a range of CoolPlay colours were used, including:
- CoolPlay Grey
- CoolPlay Red
- CoolPlay Rust
- CoolPlay Yellow
- CoolPlay Nature
These colours were carefully selected to create contrast, improve visibility, and encourage active play while complementing the surrounding park environment.
To enhance the design further, hand-cut numbers were installed within the running track, along with hand-cut squares and line markings. These custom elements create a playful, interactive layout that supports movement, coordination, and imaginative play, something not achievable with standard off-the-shelf solutions.
Safety First with Recycled Pro Play Shock Pad
Safety is a critical consideration in every playground turf installation. At Pukete Park Playground, the turf system was installed over and above our recycled Pro Play shock pad, providing compliant fall-height protection beneath the play surface.
Using a shock pad beneath synthetic turf not only improves impact absorption but also contributes to sustainability by repurposing recycled materials. This layered system helps deliver peace of mind for councils and caregivers while maintaining a clean, seamless finish across the entire play area.
Built on a Professionally Prepared Base
The turf system was laid over a properly prepared base, which is essential for the longevity and performance of any playground turf installation. A well-constructed base ensures:
- Effective drainage
- A smooth, even finish
- Reduced maintenance over time
- Long-term durability in high-traffic areas
This attention to groundwork is what allows synthetic playground surfaces to perform reliably year after year.
A Unique Playground Surface That Will Last
The completed Pukete Park playground turf installation delivers a durable, low-maintenance solution that balances safety, creativity and visual appeal. The combination of vibrant colours, custom hand-cut graphics, and impact-absorbing underlay results in a one-of-a-kind playground surface designed for community use and long-term performance.
This project highlights how thoughtful design and quality materials can transform a playground into an engaging, functional space that encourages children to move, play and explore.
