Anyone know of any materials that could be used for this.. around a

Ive found kid kushion at 2.5" for $26 for a 2x2 tile which is good for
6 feet.. but this is really expensive, even if I did just around the
clubhouse area that would be minimally 10 tiles if not more.

Any thoughts on alternatives?

I dont really want mulch.. I'd rather have my 1 year old eating grass
than rubber or bark lol

Thanks

Pea gravel, put a heavy layer down. It seems counterintuitive but it
works.

Yes, it does make for a tolerable landing. However, a 1 year old will eat
it, and older kids will throw it. Sand is rough on knees and attracts
cats, so that is out. I still recommend turf and tall grass. If the divots
bother you, make the swingset movable so you can rotate the wear spots.
Unless this is a multi-kid swingset, the wear should not be too bad.

The two parks I take my kids to have the cedar chips and it doesn't
look bad. Cushions the falls ok too.
