CDC can't stress the importance of safety surfacing enough. The safety of our
children and your children is foremost in our minds.
Sometimes the playground equipment children play on could be safer, but one thing
we do know is that the surface they fall on makes a big difference, especially
during climate changes in Canada.
CDC Recreation can provide a number of versatile options to meet virtually
any site configuration. We offer Little Tikes Kid Tiles™ –
which provide a shock absorbing safety surface.
