Make sure play structures more than 30 inches high are spaced at least 9 feet apart. Check for dangerous hardware such as open S-hooks or bolt ends that stick out. Check for sharp points or edges on equipment. Look for tripping hazards such as exposed concrete bases, tree stumps and rocks. Make sure elevated surfaces such as platforms and ramps have guardrails to prevent falls.
Check playgrounds regularly to see that equipment and surfacing are in good condition.
Carefully supervise children on playgrounds to be sure they are safe.
