Playground Chips

Price

C$60.00

Playground chips are engineered wood chips made from clean, locally sourced wood, designed to create a soft, cushioned surface for play areas. Their light colour and spongy texture help absorb impact, making them ideal for playgrounds, play structures, and other high-traffic areas where safety matters.

 

These chips compact well, drain properly, and provide a durable, kid-friendly ground cover for residential, strata, and community spaces.
