All surfaces are intact. All structures are sturdy enough that they will not move or tip over when the weight of an adult is put against them. There is no peeling paint. All ropes are tight and strands cannot be pulled apart. All areas where children can play are in view of an adult at all times.
Every child is accounted for at all times by a supervising adult.
Some method of assuring that no child is hidden or missing from the group must be used. When children must leave the play area to use the toilet, to get first aid, or for any other reason, supervision of the child who leaves and the children who remain in the play area is secure and consistent. Slides with metal beds are shaded to prevent overheating. Sand digging areas are in the shade. Sand digging areas are contained by smooth frames.
