Made from
top-quality foam

Schmitz Foam Products combines these foams into a shock pad providing the ultimate fall protection that delivers a safe and comfortable surface.
High durability
Our ProPlay shock pad is designed with an above average density and thickness. This combination is the reason our durability exceeds that of other high-end shock pads. ProPlay maintains its elastic properties for a period that exceeds the life-span of multiple artificial grass surfaces.
Excellent drainage capabilities
The drainage capacity of our ProPlay shock pad ensures that the playground can be used in most weather conditions.

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.
