Product Details

Testing shows that FitWay is a safer alternative to concrete paths. Developed in conjunction with senior care professionals in 2018 to support safer physical activity in assisted living facilities, FitWay technology is similar to compliant playground surfaces that will withstand repeated traffic from mobility devices and provide a softer landing surface. 

We tested FitWay surfaces after installation, and tests showed beyond-compliant results based on ASTM Standards for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within Use Zones of Playground Equipment. While senior communities do not currently have regulations for surfaces, this playground specification establishes minimal performance criteria for impact attenuation while children are at play in public play spaces.

FitWay has been tested to meet or exceed standards based on falls from as high as 4’ from the ground (Testing performed based on IPEMA playground standards and ASTM Certification F1292. Visit www.IPEMA.org and www.ASTM.org for more information.).
