A unitary safety surface tile. The tile may interlock with at least one other tile. Each tile may be configured for disposing on a base of loose fill. Each tile may be configured for receiving a covering of loose fill. Each tile may include a plurality of hollow pockets. Each of the pockets may connect to at least one other pocket along a top edge of each pocket. Each of the pockets may engage the base of loose fill and/or receive the covering of loose fill. Each of the pockets may include one or more apertures for allowing passage of fluid through each of the pockets. Each tile may further include a plurality of edges. The edges may border the plurality of pockets. Each of one or more of the edges may be adapted for engaging at least one edge of at least one other unitary safety surface tile.

1. A unitary safety surface tile of a unitary safety surface and an environment of the tile, said environment and tile comprising: a base of loose fill, the tile disposed on the base;a cover of loose fill overlaying the tile;a plurality of empty tile pockets, each of the pockets having at least one pocket upper edge, an outer surface of each of the pockets for engaging at least a part of the base of loose fill and an inner surface of each of the pockets for receiving at least a part of the cover of loose fill, each of the pockets further comprising at least one aperture for allowing passage of fluid through each of the pockets; anda plurality of tile edges, said plurality of tile edges bordering the plurality of empty pockets, at least one of the plurality of tile edges for engaging a structural element of the unitary safety surface. 2. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 1, wherein the tile comprises a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, rubber and wood fiber. 3. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 1, wherein the at least one pocket upper edge comprises at least a part of a pocket upper perimeter. 4. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 3, wherein at least part of the outer surface comprises at least part of a pocket outer shape. 5. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 4, wherein the pocket outer shape comprises a ledge. 6. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 4, wherein the pocket outer shape comprises at least one extremity at a maximal depth distance from the pocket upper edge. 7. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 6, wherein a perimeter of the pocket outer shape proximal to the extremity and parallel to the pocket upper perimeter is smaller than the pocket upper perimeter. 8. The unitary safety surface tile and environment of claim 1, wherein each of the pockets is proximal, along the at least one pocket upper edge, to at least one other of the pockets. 9. A unitary safety surface tile and an environment of the tile, said tile for association with at least one other unitary safety surface tile, said environment and tile comprising: a base of loose fill, the tile disposed on the base;a cover of loose fill overlaying the tile;a plurality of empty tile pockets, each of the pockets having at least one pocket upper edge, each of the pockets being proximal, along the at least one pocket upper edge, to at least one other of the pockets, an outer surface of each of the pockets for engaging at least a part of the base of loose fill and an inner surface of each of the pockets for receiving at least a part of the cover of loose fill, each of the pockets further comprising at least one aperture for allowing passage of fluid between the inner surface and the outer surface; anda plurality of tile edges, said plurality of tile edges bordering the plurality of empty pockets, at least one of the plurality of tile edges for engaging at least one other unitary safety surface tile. 10. A unitary safety surface for wheelchair accessibility, said surface having at least two unitary safety surface tiles, each tile having an environment, the environment and each tile comprising: a base of loose fill, the tile disposed on the base;a cover of loose fill overlaying the tile;a plurality of empty tile pockets, each of the pockets having an exterior surface, an interior surface and a rim, the exterior surface for engaging at least a part of the base of loose fill and the interior surface for receiving at least a part of the cover of loose fill, each of the pockets further comprising at least one aperture for allowing passage of fluid from the interior surface to the exterior surface; anda plurality of edges, said plurality of edges bordering the rims, at least one of the plurality of edges for engaging a structural element of the unitary safety surface. 11. The unitary safety surface of claim 10, wherein each of the pockets is proximal, along the rim, to at least one other of the pockets. 12. The unitary safety surface of claim 10, wherein the structural element comprises a unitary safety surface structural element selected from the group consisting of tiles, anchors, support ribs, border rails and border alert markers. 13. A method for manufacturing, on site, a unitary safety surface for wheelchair accessibility, the unitary safety surface including at least two unitary safety surface tiles, the method comprising: placing loose fill material as a base layer into a defined area in which the unitary safety surface is to be formed,emplacing, upon the base layer, one of the at least two unitary safety surface tiles, each of the tiles having: a plurality of empty pockets, each of the pockets having an exterior surface, an interior surface, an aperture and a rim, the exterior surface for engaging at least a part of the base layer, and the aperture for allowing passage of fluid from the interior surface to the base layer, anda plurality of edges, said plurality of edges bordering the rims;engaging at least one of the plurality of edges of the emplaced tile with a structural element of the unitary safety surface; andoverlaying at least part of the interior surface of at least one of the pockets with loose fill. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein each of the pockets is proximal, along the rim, to at least one other of the pockets. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the structural element comprises another unitary safety surface tile. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the structural element comprises a support rib. 17. The method of claim 13, wherein the structural element comprises a border rail. 18. The method of claim 13, wherein the structural element comprises an anchor. 19. The method of claim 13, wherein the structural element comprises a border alert marker. 20. The method of claim 13, wherein the unitary safety surface further comprises a border alert marker. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the border alert marker engages at least one of the plurality of tile edges. 22.
