turf.

Track surfaces are often made from recycled
rubber materials that provide excellent traction
and shock absorption to avoid common injuries to
the leg.

Track surfaces are also designed to effectively
drain rainwater to keep the surface dry and safe.
The vulcanized rubber for tracks is safe, durable
and easy to maintain.

More people are using artificial turf because
they resemble the look and feel of natural grass
without the maintenance required for the natural
grass surface.

Artificial turf surfaces consist of durable
filament fibers to recreate the look and feel of
grass, as well as rubber infill to act as the
dirt and provide shock absorbency stability.
