Never leave the area as long as your child is playing on the equipment. Children should never be unsupervised on playground equipment. Keep a safety zone around equipment. Be especially careful near swings, or on any piece where children are swinging their legs. Discourage children from touching one another.
Distractions can lead to loss of concentration and falls.
Make sure children are dressed appropriately for play. Proper footwear is important and clothing that is unencumbering is advised. Never allow children to wear jackets or sweatshirts with hoods and drawstrings. Wear and tear of equipment should be carefully monitored. Use the equipment properly.
