This is also the best flat space for our toddler, so hoping for something forgiving, hardy, and non-toxic!
Artificial turf seems somewhat inevitable, but would be keen to explore clover or something else first. The rest of the yard is a big deck and lots of rock (big pea gravel/small river rock), so don't really want to go with more stone/mulch.

I was thinking about it for a while, but clover doesn't seem right. If you want something natural, maybe plantain?
It's not toxic either, technically edible and I've even heard that some farmers turn it into a poultice for cuts.

It think astro turf or maybe a sort of sandbox might work best.
