3 Steps To Create A Safe Play Surface In San Diego

Children want space to develop and explore, developing confidence as they go. Playgrounds are essential for enjoyment and self-discovery because a lot of this growth takes place when children are playing.

Whether you’re a parent or a babysitter, playground safety is essential. You want them to be brave, scale great heights, and take risks—but safely.

There are several considerations to make while building a new turf playground or enhancing an old one in order to prevent accidents. (Interested in learning how synthetic turf raises playground safety? We’ll discuss the safety of synthetic turf, too!

1. Select A Trustworthy Playground Surface

The playground surface shields children from dangerous fall heights. Although wood chips are cheap and easy to install, they need constant upkeep to keep a play area safe. There isn’t enough loose-fill surfacing in heavily trafficked places to cushion inevitable crashes since it changes so easily. Additionally, loose-fill might be combined with trash and hazardous materials. Shock absorbers, infill made of Envirofill or Safeshell, and artificial grass are all secure and low-maintenance substitutes. With only occasional surface care, our enduring materials and Envirofill’s 16-year warranty offer substantial protection.

If you don’t go for artificial turf or pour-in-place surfacing, factor in maintenance costs and hours needed to make sure the loose-fill on your playground provides the necessary overall safety and protection from dangerous fall heights.

2. Ascertain The Age Range Of Playground Users

A preschool playground will look different than a public park playground intended for all ages since different age groups require different-sized equipment.

Choose smaller play equipment, such as swing sets, if your playground will only be used by very young children. Choose height-adjustable swings or different-sized playthings if the playground is for children of different ages or if it will be used at home as your children become older.

3. Exact Measurements For All Equipment

Children need to be protected from height falls with accuracy. To determine the critical fall height and make sure it is adequately padded, you must measure the height of your playground, which varies depending on the surface. Ramps and staircases should have guardrails, and over-30-inch equipment should be spaced 9 feet apart.
