Project in the spotlight

Sustainable playground in Amsterdam

The municipality of Amsterdam had a fully sustainable playground constructed in the Brasa park. The playground's surface is composed of circular ONE-DNA PLAY grass and circular ProPlay shockpads. The installed playground equipment from KOMPAN is made of natural and recycled materials. 

The project is a pilot in the field of sustainability and social & physical accessibility. The playground symbolises diversity in the world and is also accessible to children with physical disabilities or mental health challenges. It embraces everyone, hence the name brasa, which means embrace in Surinamese language.

ProPlay for Playgrounds delivers from the very beginning

Artificial turf is the surface of choice for many when it comes to modern playgrounds. It requires minimal maintenance to maintain performance, while its resemblance to grass provides a play surface that everyone can relate to. The quality and performance of ProPlay panels as part of an artificial turf field are consistent, allowing children to play and explore safely.
