Organizing A Safe Playground For Equipment And FallZone Safety Surfacing

The playground area should be organized into different sections to prevent injuries caused by conflicting activities and children running between activities. Active, physical activities should be separate from more passive or quiet activities. Areas for playground equipment, open fields, and sand boxes should be located in different sections of the playground. In addition, popular, heavy-use pieces of equipment or activities should be dispersed to avoid crowding in any one area. Different types of equipment have different fall-zones that must be maintained with the proper FallZone Safety Surfacing. The following are general recommendations for locating equipment within the playground site. 

• Moving equipment, such as swings and merry-go-rounds, should be located toward a corner, side, or edge of the play area while ensuring that the appropriate fall-zones around the equipment are maintained.

• Slide exits should be located in an non congested area of the playground.

• Composite play structures have become increasingly popular on public playgrounds. Adjacent components on composite structures should be complementary. For example, an access component should not be located in a slide fall-zone.
