Organizing Park & Garden Accessibility with Mobi-Mat®
Inclusive Trails, Water Access, and More
Green space managers often face the same dilemma: providing meaningful nature access for all visitors while protecting soils and ecosystems. Mobi-Mat® simplifies the equation. With its quick-to-install, reversible, and eco-friendly rollout mats, any grass, gravel, or shoreline surface becomes a stable, non-slip pathway — making parks safer, more inclusive, and more enjoyable for everyone.
ADA-compliant Access for All
- 100% non-slip textured surface, designed to remain safe — even when wet.
- Wheelchair & stroller friendly: woven construction meets ADA accessibility guidelines.
- Optional longitudinal white stripes assist the visually impaired or define two-way traffic.
- High load-bearing strength (>100 kN/m): supports emergency vehicles and trailers.
In practice:
- Wheelchairs roll into sensory gardens.
- Seniors walk confidently.
- Parents push strollers over smooth, stable ground.
Garden Paths and Natural Trails
Mobi-Mat® rolls out directly over lawn, forest paths, or compacted soil — no groundwork needed. Two people can install it in just minutes.
Immediate Benefits
- Safe and inclusive access for all users: pedestrians, wheelchair users, strollers, walkers users.
- Protects roots and vegetation: the permeable mesh doesn't retain water or heat and limits erosion.
- Improved comfort: no more mud, puddles, or uneven terrain.
- Flexible use: Temporary or permanent installation for an event and roll it up with the Mobi-Roller™ afterward.
Water Access: Kayaks, Canoes, and Boats
Accessing water from a muddy bank or sandy shore can be tricky. Mobi-Mat® creates a uniform, grippy ramp for safe boarding. Users can walk, push, or roll watercraft with ease.
- Lightweight yet strong: less than 0.41 lbs/sqft or 2 kg/m² — easy for two people to deploy.
- Vehicle-compatible: allows pickup truck with trailers to launch boat without erosion.
- Reversible and seasonal: remove when not in use to restore the natural landscape.

Picnic Areas, Event Zones & Staging Platforms
Mobi-Mat® limited to pathways; it also provides stable, dry ground for temporary structures like tents, tables, and stages.
- Dry, clean surface: textured design sheds water and sand.
- Grass-friendly: preserves lawns even after repeated use.
- Quick setup: no concrete, just removable anchors—perfect for volunteer crews installing it the morning and removing it in the evening if needed.
