Playing games at Clayton Park School
The problem to solve for Clayton Park was an existing drab, uninteresting playground on a soggy, poorly drained site that the school wanted students to enjoy every day. To comply with the learning opportunities stated in the national curriculum, the school grounds must offer the students safe areas to promote outdoor activity, social interaction, and structured learning; however, the playground remained sadly neglected. Clayton Park School was about to change all that.

Involve students in the planning and construction of playgrounds that will capture their hearts
Together, we identified the main problems, found ways of solving them, and decided on the synthetic surfaces that would best suit the school’s needs.

The School consulted the students from the outset engaging their keen interest in the process of creating an all-weather, multi-use playground. From opening day, the students owned and respected their playground, participating enthusiastically in outdoor play in recreational and structured learning time.

- Made in New Zealand
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.

- 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 almost 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.

- 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.

- 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.
