Merri Creek School
By TigerTurf
TigerPlay was selected by the architects as the best playground surface for Merri Creek School. The TigerPlay multi-court at Merri Creek Primary School is durable, low maintenance, with minimal infill – but the students, they love their bright, inviting court because it’s much more fun to play on, and it’s going to be that way every day.
Playground helps inspire creative play.
Merri Creek Primary School needed a durable, low maintenance surface for structured learning, such as PE classes, and for general recreational activities and playtimes. And of course, was keen to have clear markings and soft textures the students would love and to inspire creative play.
TigerTurf worked closely with Architects.
TigerTurf was engaged by the architects managing the redevelopment at Merri Creek Primary School in Fitzroy to assist with the design of a playscape for the school, advise on the best playground surface for the project and install the new synthetic turf.Taking time to listen, and to select the right surface for the right purpose provides the best value for school investments. With the experience of years of enjoyment in planning and installing playgrounds for primary schools, we have a clear understanding of the qualities to be considered.
TigerPlay synthetic playground surface is bright, soft and less abrasive than other products.
TigerPlay was selected by the architects as being the best playground surface for Merri Creek. It was designed for the purpose, and, not surprisingly, is the most popular playground turf for schools.
TigerPlay is a low pile, dense surface with minimal sand infill, qualities that make it the favourite surface for schools, but there is more to TigerPlay than that. Produced with all levels of education in mind, it offers them even more desirable qualities: safe for play in all weather, fast-drying, hard wearing, softer, less abrasive than many traditional sand-filled synthetic turf surfaces – the ideal playground surface for primary schools.
TigerPlay comes with a generous palette of vibrant colours, creating appealing designs for sports and games to attract and inspire student play. As well as being less abrasive, the minimal sand infill does make this a clean playground surface, with little, if any sand, carried indoors on student footwear or clothing.

Made for Australian Conditions - We’re one of the largest synthetic turf manufacturers in the world, but we started in Auckland, New Zealand in 1981. We still make almost all of our products in our Auckland factory, with materials manufactured by our parent company, TenCate Grass. Local manufacturing means that we can ensure quality is maintained throughout the process.
Accreditations and Memberships - Because of the quality, performance and realistic nature of TigerTurf’s artificial grass, TigerTurf is recommended for high level training and competition. Many of our artificial grass turfs have been approved and certified by world sporting bodies, including FIFA, World Rugby, FIH, and ITF. It's also ISO 9001 accredited.
Experience and Expertise - You want to make sure the company you choose to work with knows what they're doing. We've been in the synthetic turf industry for over 40 years, and have also been instrumental in developing the products and systems that result in world class, top performing surfaces. We design, manufacture, install and maintain our surfaces, applying the innovation and expertise we've gained over the years into every project - large or small.
Quality and Innovation - We control the quality and performance of every synthetic turf system we create, in our own factory, at every step of the production process. We control where and how our yarns are extruded. We control which products go into our fibres. We develop and manufacture our own backing cloths. We develop, manufacture and build the performance bases that we lay our turf systems over. And finally, we can recycle our old, end-of-life products into new, start-of-life products.
Industry Leading Products - Our industry leading products cover a range of uses for sports, in all levels of education and in sports grounds for elite and community levels of play. We also provide quality surfaces for domestic and commercial landscaping.
