How can I make my Garden safer for my children?

Question

I live on the ground floor of a Victorian conversion and my 'garden' is just a concrete yard, there is no grass or soft areas where they can play safely. What can I do with it so they can play without injuring themselves too badly when they fall? other then digging up the concrete? I'm renting so can't do anything too drastic.

Answer 1

cover it in those chips they use in play areas in parks

Answer 2

helmets, knee and elbow pads.  concrete isn't a "garden"

Answer 3

wat u need to do is buy that plush green carpet kinda thing it loks lik grass u can buy this at home depot.

Answer 4

Put down indoor/outdoor carpet.

Answer 5

let them fall over a few times. a few scrapes and bruises never killed anyone, it builds character. Just make sure there are no rusty nails or anything.

Answer 6

You Could Put Some Bark Or Sand Down ?

Answer 7

Put some grass in your garden? No ponds incase they drown

Answer 8

At my kindergarten, we have a similar yard (more like a patio).. We have put down those foamy mats that look like puzzle pieces and taped them down with duct tape to keep them secure.  They are weather proof  and bit of a pain to clean up, but at least the kids are safer.

Answer 9

i know this sounds daft but you can get rolls of artificial grass from garden centres

Answer 10

I don't know how old they are so I don't know if this answer is appropriate, but how about a sand box and fill it with that sand that is like beach sand. That should keep them occupied.
