Playground Chips
C$60.00
Playground chips are an engineered bark mulch made from clean, locally sourced white wood. These light-coloured, shredded wood chips create a soft, cushioned surface designed to absorb impact, making them ideal for playgrounds and high-traffic play areas. With a spongy feel underfoot and excellent compaction, playground chips are both functional and kid-friendly.
