It is recommended that this report be received. Background The Peel District School Board has 58 schools with various types of Creative Playground equipment. The Board has an on-going inspection and repair program which is focused on children's safety. From time to time, the Board demolishes defective playground equipment. A decision to demolish playground equipment is made on a case by case basis.
Staff consider age, condition and equipment defects.
Reference is then made to the cost to repair the equipment. Board options are presently limited to repair or demolition. Inspection Process Staff rely on regular visual inspections of playgrounds and conduct a comprehensive annual inspection of the condition of playground equipment. The annual inspection is undertaken by an independent consultant specializing in the inspection of playground equipment. The current CSA standard is required for all new Creative Playground equipment.
