Communities need accessible, versatile surfaces for play and relaxation for people of all ages and abilities. Modern landscape synthetic turf options are specifically formulated for public recreation spaces frequented by adults, children, and pets. This course reviews the health benefits of being outdoors, the history and fabrication of synthetic turf, the design considerations for various recreation applications, and synthetic turf’s performance and sustainability characteristics.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Summarize how individuals benefit physically and mentally from time spent outdoors and how community wellness is affected by the implementation of green spaces.
  • Discuss the design considerations for playground, park and landscape, pet, and rooftop applications and the synthetic turf systems specifically designed to meet the safety and performance requirements of each application.
  • Specify synthetic turf to address concerns associated with water consumption, stormwater runoff, and drainage, constant use, pesticide and fertilizer use, and maintenance demands and impacts.
  • Employ the functional (impact attenuation and ADA compliance) and performance (heat reflection, antistatic, antimicrobial) properties of synthetic turf to design durable, code-compliant, safe, aesthetically appealing, accessible, and sustainable spaces for outdoor activity and relaxation.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
