Playground Turf Installation at Wabash City Park

Project Overview

The ForeverLawn® Northeast Indiana team transformed a sprawling 6,705 square foot park playground in Wabash, Indiana with a complete playground turf installation. This comprehensive upgrade included lush new playground equipment paired with high-quality artificial grass surfacing. The project addressed the community’s need for a safer, more durable playground surface that could withstand heavy use and Indiana’s challenging weather conditions year-round.

Our Approach

Our installation process began with careful site preparation to ensure proper drainage and optimal surface stability for the new playground environment. We installed the playground turf system, which holds its appearance throughout all seasons. The project drew on our experience with artificial grass for playgrounds to create a resilient surface across the full area. Our comprehensive artificial grass services ensured every aspect of the installation met consistent safety and durability standards.

Key Highlights

The completed installation features playground turf installed to the specification set for the equipment on site. The artificial grass maintains its lush green appearance and structural integrity through Wabash’s varied climate, from scorching summers to harsh winter conditions. This low-maintenance solution eliminates the ongoing costs and challenges associated with natural grass maintenance while ensuring consistent playability. The 6,705 square foot installation now serves as a model playground surface that combines durability, drainage, and visual appeal for the entire community.
