FallZone Poured in Place Playground Surfacing
FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing for Florida Playgrounds:
FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing is a cornerstone of safe and inclusive playground spaces, particularly in Florida, where outdoor play is a year-round passion despite intense heat and frequent rain. According to the CPSC, falls account for over 70% of playground-related injuries, and nationwide more than 200,000 children visit emergency rooms annually because of playground falls. The majority of life-threatening injuries occur when children fall onto hard, unyielding surfaces or onto loose-fill materials that have thinned out and lost their protective depth. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing eliminates that risk entirely by providing a seamless, shock-absorbing layer that maintains consistent critical fall height protection for the life of the surface—often 12–15 years or longer with proper care.
Unlike traditional loose-fill surfaces such as wood chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), rubber mulch, sand, or pea gravel—which constantly shift, scatter, kick out, and degrade—FallZone Poured-in-Place Playground Surfacing creates a permanent, unified cushion that never needs “topping off.” Children playing vigorously, wind, rain, hurricanes, and even lawn mowers displace loose-fill material, often leaving bare spots under swings, slide exits, and climbing structures—the exact places where the most severe falls occur. Independent testing labs repeatedly find that 60–80% of loose-fill playgrounds fail fall-height safety tests within 1–3 years of installation because the material has migrated or compacted. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing, by contrast, is tested and certified at the time of installation and retains its impact-attenuation performance decade after decade.
Beyond safety, FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing dramatically improves accessibility and inclusivity. Loose-fill surfaces are notorious barriers for wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and children with motor challenges. Even a few inches of wood mulch or rubber mulch can stop a wheelchair dead or cause a child with braces to trip. FallZone Poured-in-Place Playground Surfacing provides a firm, stable, completely seamless surface that exceeds ADA requirements for accessible routes, turning every corner of the playground into usable space for every child.
Top Safety Role of FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing in Florida:
Florida’s intense year-round sun, high humidity, frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and occasional hurricanes create the perfect storm for loose-fill failure. In summer, rubber mulch and asphalt surfaces routinely exceed 170 °F—hot enough to cause second-degree burns in seconds—while heavy rains turn sand and pea gravel into soupy messes that hide debris and sharp objects. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing uses premium TPV granules that are UV-stabilized and heat-dissipating, typically staying 30–50 °F cooler than rubber mulch or asphalt on a sunny day. Parents in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville no longer have to worry about “hot-surface days” closing the playground.
Why Florida School Playgrounds & Parks Need FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing:
Florida’s climate is one of the most demanding in the nation for playground surfacing. The state experiences intense UV exposure, high humidity, near-daily summer thunderstorms, and hurricane-season downpours that can dump inches of rain in hours. Loose-fill materials simply cannot keep up. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing incorporates perforated base layers and strategic slope design so water drains through the system in minutes, not hours. Playground downtime after rain is virtually eliminated—children in Tampa and Jacksonville can be back playing the same day instead of waiting for loose-fill to dry out or be raked smooth again.
Long-term cost is another compelling reason Florida schools and municipalities are switching to FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing. A typical 5,000 sq ft playground with 12-inch loose-fill EWF costs approximately $15,000–$20,000 initially, but requires 20–40% replenishment every 1–3 years. Over a 12-year lifespan, the total cost of ownership for loose-fill often exceeds $75,000–$100,000+. FallZone Poured-in-Place Rubber Playground Surfacing has a higher upfront investment (typically $12–$18 per sq ft installed), yet the total 12–15 year cost is usually 30–50% lower because there is no annual replenishment, minimal sweeping, and virtually no downtime.
