Case Studies
“We love our multi-use area and play courts! The usage is through the roof, with the biggest
challenge balancing high demand.”
TigerTurf
Education
With a TigerTurf transformation, the
school now has a bright and colourful
play area with learning games including a
number snakes, four square, hopscotch
and snakes and ladders.
“The teachers are excited about the numeracy games they will be able to play with the junior classes on the brightly coloured number snake and giant snakes and ladders game” exclaimed Principal, Lorrayne Alexander.
The main court area has lines for tennis, basketball and netball which means the students can set themselves up for a game at any time. “The turf has enlivened our play areas and provided us with an all-weather turf on the wet West Coast.”
When considering how to upgrade the play areas, the school considered two options. (a) to mill the existing asphalt and replace with a new asphalt coating or (b) cover with TigerTurf to not only halt the asphalt decay but to also enliven the surface making it safe for play. As the cost for the TigerTurf was similar to reasphalting, the choice was obvious.
This project was completed by TigerTurf’s agent, Southern Turf Ltd. “We are delighted with the result. Our ageing asphalted court areas have gone from grey, dreary and in need of attention to a stimulating and fun environment for our students”.
