berita perusahaan tentang Spain's "Parks with Health" Campaign: What It Means for Your Playground Project

Last week, Spain's Ecologistas en Acción launched "Parques con Salud" (Parks with Health), calling for recycled-rubber surfacing to be removed from playgrounds and schoolyards. Catalonia's draft law goes further, proposing a ban on recycled-tyre flooring in schools and sports centres.

The industry responds with studies showing the risk is low. But perception shapes policy — and it's already changing how buyers choose surfaces.

That's why more projects are moving to systems that don't rely on loose rubber granules at all.

The safe choice for your project

A shock pad system gives you impact protection without the debate:

• PE foam shock pads. They sit under the turf as a full layer, so kids never touch the material directly.
• Layer a shock pad under turf or EPDM to meet your fall-height requirement with a clean, uniform surface.

Three questions for any supplier

1. What is the surface made of — and what does the test report show?
2. Does it pass impact attenuation for your fall height (EN 1177 / ASTM F1292)?
3. How will it perform after 8–10 years, including in summer heat?
