Reducing static electricity should be every playground designer’s goal, as static shock is a real concern for children with electronic medical devices like cochlear implants.

Choosing a surfacing solution that has antistatic technology built into it, like Playground Grass Ultra, is a great way to help reduce static electricity on the playground.
