In the heart of Oxfordshire, UK, a remarkable transformation has taken place. A muddy, problematic schoolyard has been reborn as a vibrant, green oasis of play and learning, thanks to the innovative work of Venture Play UK and their use of ONE-DNA™ artificial grass.

For years, the school battled challenges with natural grass in the playground. In dry weather, sand and dust infiltrated classrooms, creating an unclean environment. Rainy days were no better, turning the yard into a muddy mess that children tracked indoors. This struggle highlighted a common issue for schools: maintaining a playground that is both functional and environmentally friendly.

 Sustainable Playgrounds with ONE-DNA™

The solution? A shift from natural to artificial grass—specifically, ONE-DNA™ artificial grass, renowned for its circular properties and commitment to sustainability through its Take Back program. This choice perfectly aligned with the school’s vision for a sustainable, low-maintenance, and green playground that benefits both children and the planet.

The two-week renovation, carried out by four skilled workers from Venture Play, covered an impressive 500 square meters with ONE-DNA™ Vista grass. This eco-friendly surface is durable enough to handle the rigors of daily play while promoting environmental responsibility, meeting the growing demand for green solutions in educational settings.

The Take Back Program:

ONE-DNA™ artificial grass takes sustainability a step further with its Take Back program, designed to ensure that every installation has a responsible end-of-life solution. Through this program, schools and institutions can return worn-out turf to be recycled into new materials, closing the loop and reducing waste. By choosing this option, the Oxfordshire school has not only improved its playground but also committed to a future where products are responsibly repurposed.

 Flawless Execution and Lasting Impact

The school management was thrilled with the transformation, from the knowledgeable sales consultation to the seamless project execution. The result is a safe, inviting, and vibrant playground that brings joy and encourages active play among students.

Dallan Tan from Venture Play reflected on the project, stating, “Venture Play is committed to sustainability in the play sector. Working with ONE-DNA™ artificial grass strengthens our position as a leader in providing innovative, sustainable play solutions in the UK.”
