Corkeen- The Natural Alternative to Rubber Playground Surfacing
Cork Playground Surfacing in California
Natural Playground Safety Surfacing for Schools, Parks & Public Spaces
CK Nature Play is Northern California's specialist installer of Corkeen® natural cork playground surfacing, providing safe, beautiful, and environmentally responsible impact-attenuating playground surfaces for schools, parks, childcare centers, municipalities, and nature-based play environments.
Unlike traditional poured-in-place rubber or synthetic safety surfacing, Corkeen is made primarily from natural cork—creating a seamless playground surface that is cooler, quieter, and blends naturally into outdoor environments.
Whether you're building a new playground or renovating an existing play area, our experienced team delivers turnkey installation throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.
❋ Safer for ChildrenCorkeen is engineered to provide impact attenuation that meets ASTM playground safety standards while creating a softer, more natural play experience.
❋ Naturally SustainableMade primarily from renewable cork harvested without harming the tree, Corkeen helps reduce the use of plastics and synthetic rubber while supporting environmentally responsible playground design.
❋ Cooler Than Traditional RubberNatural cork stays noticeably cooler than many synthetic playground surfaces, making playgrounds more comfortable during warm California summers.
❋ ADA AccessibleIts seamless, stable surface provides excellent accessibility for wheelchairs, strollers, and mobility devices while creating inclusive play spaces for children of all abilities.
❋ Beautiful Natural AppearanceThe warm earth-tone finish complements natural logs, boulders, timber structures, and landscape elements—perfect for nature-inspired playgrounds.
❋ Low MaintenanceUnlike loose-fill materials such as engineered wood fiber, cork surfacing stays in place, reducing routine maintenance while providing consistent fall protection.
