Safer, Natural Playground Surfacing Without Plastics or PFAS

A natural, non-plastic surface designed for safe, sustainable, high-performance playgrounds and recreational spaces across North America.

SurfacePlay Coco is a natural alternative to traditional synthetic playground surfacing. Made from coconut husk fibers and supported by a certified natural rubber latex backing, it provides a durable and comfortable play surface without relying on plastics.

By transforming coconut husks — a renewable by-product of the coconut industry — into a high-performance playground surface, SurfacePlay Coco helps reduce waste and reliance on synthetic materials while creating more natural outdoor play environments.

Why Choose SurfacePlay Coco?

SurfacePlay Coco is designed to deliver a natural, sustainable alternative to traditional synthetic playground surfacing. Made from renewable materials and engineered for performance, it provides a safe, durable, and environmentally responsible solution for play and recreational spaces.

  • Zero Microplastic & PFAS Pollution
    SurfacePlay Coco is free from microplastics and PFAS, helping create cleaner play environments while reducing concerns associated with conventional synthetic surfaces.

  • Natural & Non-Toxic
    Made from coconut husk fibers with a natural rubber latex backing, SurfacePlay Coco contains no plastic grass fibers and is designed to provide a natural surfacing solution for playgrounds and recreational spaces.

  • Sustainability at its Core
    Coconut husks are a renewable resource and a by-product of the coconut industry. Repurposing this material helps reduce waste while providing a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastic and rubber playground surfaces.

  • Safety & Performance
    Sustainability doesn't mean compromising on performance. SurfacePlay Coco provides a cushioned, impact-absorbing surface designed to help reduce the impact of falls while remaining comfortable underfoot.

    Engineered to withstand heavy use, it provides the durability needed for busy playgrounds, schools, parks, and recreation areas while maintaining its natural look and feel.

  • Lower Surface Temperatures
    Independent testing has shown that SurfacePlay Coco maintains significantly lower surface temperatures compared with traditional synthetic turf, helping reduce heat buildup and providing a more comfortable surface during warmer weather.

  • Eco-Friendly Installation
    SurfacePlay Coco can be installed without the need for harmful adhesives or synthetic installation materials. Its construction also supports natural drainage, helping prevent water buildup and maintain a practical, usable play surface.

  • Natural Look & Versatility
    With its organic texture and earthy appearance, SurfacePlay Coco blends naturally into playgrounds, parks, schools, and other recreational environments, offering an attractive alternative to the artificial appearance of conventional synthetic turf.

Our Commitment to a Greener Future

We believe nature can play a greater role in creating safe, durable, and sustainable outdoor environments.

SurfacePlay Coco was developed with a clear purpose: to reduce reliance on plastic-based playground surfaces and provide a natural solution that delivers the performance today's play spaces demand.

By choosing SurfacePlay Coco, you're helping reduce reliance on synthetic materials, make better use of renewable resources, and create cleaner, more natural spaces for communities to enjoy.

ZERO Plastic & PFAS-Free Surfacing

PFAS chemicals are often called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment or the human body. Over time, they can accumulate through everyday exposure in soil, water, and the air around us. Research has linked long-term exposure to potential impacts on human health, including effects on the immune system and development, with children considered more vulnerable.

Creating safer play environments is one way to help reduce unnecessary exposure, which is why SurfacePlay is engineered without plastics, microplastics, or PFAS—providing a safer, more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional synthetic playground surfacing.

Many conventional surfaces rely on materials like rubber infill made from recycled tires, which can degrade over time and release microplastics into the surrounding environment.

By using natural materials instead, SurfacePlay helps minimize environmental impact while creating a cleaner, non-toxic play surface for children and communities.
