The Swing/Slide WearMat – 40" x 40" x 1.5" is a commercial playground wear mat engineered to protect loose-fill playground surfacing in the two areas that experience the greatest amount of wear—beneath swings and at slide exits. Constant foot traffic, repeated landings, and swinging motion naturally displace engineered wood fiber, rubber mulch, and other loose-fill surfacing materials over time. This durable wear mat helps minimize erosion, reducing maintenance costs while preserving the safety and appearance of your playground.
Manufactured from premium recycled rubber, the Swing/Slide WearMat features a one-piece design that installs quickly and remains securely positioned thanks to its waffle-bottom construction. Its 1.5-inch thickness provides excellent durability while beveled edges create smooth transitions that help reduce trip hazards around the mat. Built to withstand years of heavy commercial use, it delivers dependable protection in demanding playground environments.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends giving special attention to maintaining loose-fill surfacing beneath swings and at slide exits because these areas experience the greatest displacement. Installing a commercial wear mat helps preserve proper surfacing depth, reduce replenishment costs, and improve the overall appearance of the playground.
