ParkMat
Helping Kids Play Safe
ParkMat playground mulch
Townsend Lumber’s specially designed ParkMat® playground mulch is a safe, natural ground covering intended for playgrounds, dog runs, pathways and trails. Being a family owned and operated business dedicated to our community, the folks at Townsend saw an opportunity to provide children a naturally sourced ground covering for outdoor fun.
So proud are we of our product that we donated a ParkMat playground covering to one of the local schools, where many of our employee’s children attend. As a low maintenance, cost effective solution for playground safety, ParkMat is a certified product that gives parents peace of mind while their children race about.
