However, this location experiences intensive daily use and required a surface solution that could perform under those conditions. Material composition and future processing options were among the aspects considered during the selection process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>Artificial grass in public spaces<\/h4>\n<p>Artificial grass is frequently used in playgrounds and recreational areas where intensive use can make natural grass difficult to maintain. For this project, the municipality selected ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass, a product made in 100% PE (one polymer).<\/p>\n<p>The product was chosen as part of the overall playground redevelopment program and integrated into the impact-absorbing surface system supplied by KSP Kunstgras.<\/p>\n<h4>Collaboration on public space projects<\/h4>\n<p>Projects such as this demonstrate how municipalities, contractors and suppliers work together to develop practical outdoor environments that meet the needs of local communities.<\/p>\n<p>By carefully evaluating safety requirements, maintenance considerations and material characteristics, public authorities can make informed decisions when renovating playgrounds and recreational facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The renovated playground in Purmerend now provides a renewed space for play, recreation and community use for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/one-dna.com\/us\/one-dna-playgrounds\/\">Playgrounds<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/one-dna.com\/us\/products\/\">Products<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When playgrounds reach the end of their service life, municipalities are often faced with balancing safety, functionality, maintenance requirements and material selection.
