Accessible Multipurpose Playground with Ultra Grass at Eel River

Project Overview

ForeverLawn Northeast Indiana transformed an 810 square foot area at Eel River into a fully accessible multipurpose playground designed for children of all abilities. The project was developed in partnership with Northwest Allen County Schools to create an inclusive recreational space that promotes both physical activity and educational engagement. The centerpiece of this installation features an accessible whirl that ensures every child can participate in playground activities regardless of their physical capabilities.

Our Approach

Our team carefully planned the installation to maximize safety and durability while maintaining accessibility standards throughout the play area. We selected Ultra Grass as the optimal artificial grass for playgrounds due to its superior cushioning properties and resistance to heavy foot traffic. The installation process involved precise grading and drainage preparation to ensure long-term performance in all weather conditions. Our comprehensive approach included coordination with school officials to minimize disruption while creating an educational outdoor environment.

Key Highlights

The completed playground features Ultra Grass surfacing that provides consistent cushioning and traction for safe play throughout the year. The accessible whirl installation meets ADA compliance standards while offering an engaging experience for children with varying mobility needs. The durable synthetic surface eliminates maintenance concerns like mud, bare spots, and seasonal wear that typically plague natural grass playgrounds. This project demonstrates our commitment to creating inclusive community spaces that serve educational institutions and promote active learning through safe outdoor recreation.
