Unfortunately Playground surfacing is prone to vandalism. Contrary to surfacing solutions such as sand, gravel and woodchips, SurfacePlay® Durable Carpets are made of needle-punched fibers that can not be dispersed. Graffiti signs are often marked on the surface, making it difficult to keep the playground surface tide and clean. The infill sand in the Durable carpets also protect it from acts of defacement such as cutting and arson.
