The Best Parks & Playground Turf for Kids, Pets & Families Across NSW

Creating safe, welcoming, and enjoyable community spaces starts from the ground up. Whether it’s a local dog park, an outdoor playground turf project, or a family BBQ area, choosing high-quality natural grass makes all the difference. Natural grass doesn’t just look good; it keeps spaces cooler, safer, and more comfortable than artificial alternatives. 

At Buy Turf Online, we supply premium, DNA-certified natural turf varieties across NSW. Backed by Lawn Solutions Australia’s 10-year warranty and grown to AusGap standards, our turf is trusted by councils, landscapers, and builders who need quality and consistency for community projects. 

Why Choose Natural Turf for Parks & Playgrounds? 

Artificial grass for playgrounds may look tidy at first, but it quickly heats up, wears thin, and needs costly replacement. Natural turf, however, stays soft, safe and inviting. 

Safe & soft underfoot – natural grass provides a natural soft fall surface, making it the safest soft turf for playgrounds where children are running, jumping, and climbing. 

Cooler in summer – synthetic turf can reach extreme surface temperatures, while natural grass stays cooler and more comfortable. 

Better for pets – dogs love the feel of real grass, and natural turf absorbs pet odours rather than trapping them like artificial turf. 

Environmental benefits – natural lawns absorb carbon, improve air quality, and reduce dust and soil erosion. 

Community appeal – lush green spaces are inviting, encouraging families and locals to spend more time outdoors. 

Natural vs Artificial Turf 

Artificial turf can become uncomfortably hot, wears down over time, and often requires costly replacement. 

Natural turf regenerates, provides real environmental benefits, and keeps public spaces safe and enjoyable for everyone. 

Turf for Every Community Space 

We supply turf for all types of community projects across NSW, with solutions tailored to different uses. 

Turf for Dog Parks 

Pet-friendly spaces need turf that can handle constant wear and tear. For pet owners, natural turf also handles dog urine better than synthetic alternatives, with faster absorption and less odour build-up.  

Self-repairing varieties like Eureka Kikuyu and TifTuf Bermuda recover quickly from paw traffic and digging, while staying lush and green with the right care. 

Turf for Kids’ Playgrounds 

Children need soft, non-slip surfaces for safe play. DNA Certified Sir Walter Buffalo delivers the best turf for playgrounds thanks to its broad leaves, natural cushioning, and shade tolerance. Perfect for soft play surfaces under swings, slides, and climbing frames. 

Turf for BBQ & Picnic Areas 

Public BBQs and picnic zones are at the heart of many parks. These high-use spaces benefit from turf that looks inviting and stands up to wear. TifTuf Bermuda’s drought tolerance makes it a strong choice, while Sir Walter Buffalo offers year-round comfort for bare feet. 

Turf for Public Parks & Reserves 

Large, open community spaces require economical, hardy turf. Eureka Kikuyu is fast-growing, budget-friendly, and ideal for covering wide areas without compromising on resilience. It stays greener for longer and can self-repair under high use.

We grow and deliver only the most reliable, DNA-certified turf varieties — each one backed by a 10-year warranty through Lawn Solutions Australia.
