Sand (Playground)
Applications & Uses
Playground Sand
Playground sand is a specially processed, fine-grained sand designed for use in play areas and recreational spaces. This material is typically washed and screened to remove impurities and sharp particles, ensuring a soft, smooth texture that is safe for children and comfortable for bare feet.
The fine consistency of playground sand provides excellent cushioning, reducing the risk of injuries from falls and making it ideal for use under swings, slides, and other playground equipment. Its clean, dust-free nature also helps keep play areas tidy and minimizes tracking into nearby spaces. In addition to playgrounds, this sand is commonly used in sandboxes, volleyball courts, and as a base for pavers in residential and commercial landscaping projects. While it offers superior safety and comfort, playground sand is not suitable for applications requiring compaction or drainage, such as construction backfill or concrete mixes.
