Athletic & Recreational Fields Applications

Sports Field Shock Pads

Introducing our flagship sports field shock pads, ShockDrain 580 and ShockDrain 780, purpose-built for athletic field applications.

En-Plast’s sports field shock pads are engineered for every level of play, from the largest football stadium to smallest local park. Artificial turf drainage sits at the core of each system, working with impact absorption and long-term durability to deliver safer fields at a lower cost to maintain.

ShockDrain 580 Diamond P.A.D.

ShockDrain 580 Diamond P.A.D. is a shock attenuation and synthetic aggregate sports field shock pad, designed for use beneath synthetic turf to achieve optimum athlete performance. This pad is also used in "new generation" sports fields for field foundations and water conservation.

ShockDrain 780 AllSport P.A.D.

ShockDrain 780 AllSport P.A.D. is a shock attenuation synthetic aggregate technology designed for use beneath synthetic turf to achieve optimum athlete performance. Like the 580, it's used in "new generation" sports fields for field foundations and water conservation, with the added artificial turf drainage capacity needed for higher-traffic fields.

Best Places to Install Sports Field Shock Pads

En-Plast sports field shock pads are engineered to perform anywhere synthetic turf meets heavy foot traffic and unpredictable weather. From single-sport stadiums to shared-use recreational areas, each ShockDrain system is built around artificial turf drainage, impact absorption, and long-term durability, so facility managers can install with confidence no matter the field type.

Soccer, Football, & Baseball Fields

Soccer, football, and baseball fields see some of the highest-impact play of any surface type, from sprinting and tackling to sliding and diving. En-Plast sports field shock pads are engineered for impact absorption and player safety under these conditions, helping reduce injury risk during competitive games, practices, and tournaments. Because these fields also see heavy seasonal use, our systems are built to hold their shock-absorbing properties over years of play without breaking down.

Multipurpose Fields & Training Facilities

Multipurpose fields and training facilities face a different challenge: constant rotation between sports, teams, and weather conditions, often with little downtime to recover. Reliable artificial turf drainage keeps these shared-use surfaces playable right after storms instead of sitting wet and out of commission.

Running Tracks & Play Areas

Running tracks and community play areas call for surfaces that hold up under constant foot traffic while staying comfortable for everyday use. En-Plast shock pads provide durable, shock-absorbing support that helps reduce fatigue and joint impact, whether it's a competitive track program or a neighborhood walking path.

With excellent drainage capabilities, En-Plast systems reduce the need for excessive sub-base materials, helping to minimize construction costs while maintaining top-tier field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

A sports field shock pad is a layer installed beneath synthetic turf that absorbs impact, reduces injury risk, and supports consistent playability. En-Plast's ShockDrain pads are made from post-consumer recycled materials.

A shock pad protects players and protects your investment in the field. It absorbs impact to reduce the risk of injuries like concussions and joint strain, improves artificial turf drainage so the field stays playable instead of sitting wet after storms, and reduces stress on the turf itself, which extends the turf's lifespan and lowers long-term maintenance and replacement costs.

ShockDrain's synthetic aggregate structure allows water to move vertically and horizontally through the pad, so fields drain quickly after rain without needing as much sub-base material.

Yes. ShockDrain systems are used in "new generation" sports fields specifically for their role in field foundations and water conservation, reducing runoff and supporting more sustainable field construction.
