A Playground with Artificial Grass Has Enormous Benefits. A Must-read!
"What is it like to be in a school where there's no ground for you to play?" Asked the newly appointed teacher to the student.
She replied, "We play in the area that's available to us in the lobby, or sometimes in the gathering hall."
Is it equal to playing on a real ground made after investing in a big space with grass or artificial grass on it? As someone who grew up in a time and environment where sports were given much thought, the idea of playing in a gathering hall seems vague. It surely can't win the day for anybody - neither the school nor the students.
As my belief goes, a playground can be the place to instil character for the real world in students of all nature.
Well, here are a few more benefits of a playground with artificial grass in a school.
Students get to spend their time outside on a well-maintained spot
When your playgrounds are well-maintained with artificial grass on equilibrium on all parts, it becomes the right place for students to hang out. Do you know that on an average a student spends 20%-25% of their school time outside the premises? With a perfect playground, you can prevent them from leaving the premises.
A proper space reflects on the students' attitude
Believe it or not, when your school has a beautiful playground and other components, you will see a more friendly and positive attitude from the students' side. The behaviour of students entirely depends upon the quality of their surroundings.
The playground becomes the perfect place to promote outdoor learning
21st century realizes the importance of outdoor education. We are in a time when teachers and school managements across the world are valuing the modes of learning that their students find comfortable. A playground maintained regularly, and the artificial grass on it cleaned daily is just another way of ensuring that you have a space ready for outdoor learning.
A perfect playground promotes and brings more participation
Now you don't have to worry about less participation in sports events. Here's the thing: Every student likes to participate in sports if the facilities he gets are world-class and trustworthy. A well-maintained playground motivates children to play on them. The artificial grass provides the perfect turf to play their favourite games.
Artificial grass requires low maintenance and has its benefits
The most significant benefit of artificial turf is zero or low maintenance. The time and budget that the school officials spend on maintaining and cutting the natural grass can be eliminated. Besides this, there are no chances of water getting accumulated in puddles here and there. Grass stains on students' uniforms become negligible once you install artificial grass on the playground. Artificial turf also brings with it one enormous benefit that most playgrounds don't. It's the fact that artificial grass comes with an anti-bacterial that doesn't allow the germs and bacteria to spread.
A good playground is a way to promote the interaction of your students with pupils from other schools
When you have a good playground, you can organize inter-school competitions and other competitions that promote interaction among students. Inter-school matches are an excellent way to keep the competitive instinct in your students alive. Plus, when the students from other schools hear about the artificial grass playground in your premises, they will participate in large numbers.
The physical and mental health of students improve
The ultimate aim of every school is to work for the mental and physical wellbeing of the students. As discussed in the above points, it can be established that the artificial grass is helpful due to all its components used in manufacturing. The long-term benefit of playing sports and other activities on the ground is a direct effect on the physical and mental health of the child.
Conclusion
The one who coined the phrase: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" wasn't wrong. Could he be? Didn't we discuss the benefits of an artificial grass playground in the above points?
