Making Playgrounds Accessible with ASTM F1951

If you’re adding artificial grass to a playground, making sure it meets ASTM F1951 standards is key to keeping the space accessible for everyone, including individuals using wheelchairs and other mobility devices. While artificial grass can be designed to meet these standards, the whole installation—including the base, infill, and transitions—needs to be done right to ensure compliance. 

What is ASTM F1951 and Why Does It Matter? 

ASTM F1951 measures how easy it is for wheelchairs to move across a surface. Just having ASTM F1951-certified artificial grass isn’t enough—the entire system, from the base to the edges, plays a role in making sure the surface is safe and accessible.
