By choosing SYNLawn for their 23,450 sq/ft installation, Gregory Portland ISD Early Childhood Center has taken a significant step in prioritizing the safety and enjoyment of their students. Utilizing a combination of turf options including SYNTipede 321, SYNPlay 48, SYNSport, and a custom fabricated compass design, this project highlights why our turf is the premier choice for those seeking to create outstanding play spaces.
How Our Turf Transformed Portland ISD – Early Childhood Center
The playground at Portland ISD – Early Childhood Center is not only designed with safety and durability in mind but also incorporates creative and aesthetic elements that enhance the recreational environment. One of the standout features is the custom-fabricated compass design, which adds a unique visual element, making it both educational and visually appealing. The compass is integrated into the surface, providing an engaging way for children to learn about directions while they play.
In addition to the compass, the blue areas of the play space are made from a mixture of SYNSport and SYNPlay playground turf, which come in a variety of colors. These colorful and durable playground turf options help ensure that the area remains vibrant and inviting while standing up to the wear and tear of daily use.
The recreational area also features innovative metal fixtures designed to represent trees, adding a traditional element to the space. These frames are not only visually striking but are also functional, as they are fitted with shade sails. These shade sails will provide much-needed protection from the sun so that children can play comfortably – even on hot days.
