reinforced grass


Explanation:
This site also has a picture....

"REINFORCED GRASS INSTEAD OF ASPHALT
Asphalt, which is commonly used in facilities of this type, has essentially been replaced by gravel, concrete pavement tiles or reinforced grass, i.e. flagstones with openings where grass can grow. This means that rainwater drains in a natural way and does not affect the balance of water in the area."
