Need Ideas! - soft surface for concrete play area

We fenced in the side of our house that used to be a super long driveway and want to make part of it a play area for our toddler (14 months old). We’re worried about her falling on concrete (concerned about her hitting her head, not scrapes) and are trying to figure out an affordable way to create a softer surface. We’ve considered foam mats but I’ve read they can develop mold under them since there’s no drainage. Current ideas being thrown around are creating a wooden deck/platform since that’s at least softer than concrete or framing in the area and filling with mulch. submitted by /u/DIYDummy03 [link] [comments]
