Playground Surfacing with Nike Grind
Designed for use under children’s play areas, rubber poured-in-place playground surfacing containing Nike Grind is manufactured by Playtop, an industry leader in safe, tested surfaces.
Developed to minimize the risk of injury when children fall or trip on the playground, Playtop’s Safer Surfacing line combines Nike Grind Rubber and other recycled rubber materials, leading to playground surfaces using as much as 92 percent recycled material – helping to keep worn-out shoes and other products out of the landfill.
In addition to its environmental benefits, Playtop’s rubber playground safety surfaces offer a variety of benefits to their owners – and to the children who play on them:
- Extremely durable and cost-effective
- Usable in all weathers
- Low-maintenance, all-weather surface
- Customizable colors and graphics
- Contourable shapes and configurations
- Continuous, joint-free, porous material that resists abrasion, slipping, indentation and ignition

In addition, Playtop recycled rubber playground surfaces offer a variety of thicknesses, each ideal for different levels of play. These thicknesses have been tested in accordance with European (EN) and U.S. (ASTM) standards and awarded Critical Fall Height ratings up to 3 meters (around 10 feet), the maximum permitted falling height for modern play equipment.
