Introducing Indoor Playground Equipment

School playgrounds don't get much, if any, use throughout the summer months, making this a good time for upkeep and repairs. Taking care of this through summer helps make sure your playground is as secure as possible and in excellent condition for the approaching school year.
Do an Inspection
Take care to do a comprehensive inspection of your school playground, or have a specialist inspector do so. It's also advisable to search for any litter or debris on or around equipment that might be a threat for kids. Make note of any repairs that are needed, so you can get these taken care of before the school year begins. Doing a review may also assist you in finding potential problems with playground equipment that could come up during the college year.

Even minor issues with school playground equipment can turn into big ones that may put kids at risk when they are playing. Whether you have a broken swing or any elements which are severely worn or loose, then make arrangements to get repairs completed during summer when there aren't too many children around.
Check for Water Damage
When severe storms roll through during summer, they can leave behind debris that could be hazardous, such as large branches. You may also detect damage to playground equipment out of hail or wind-blown debris. Clear any debris that has fallen on or near equipment, and have storm damage repaired.

Maintain Fences and Benches


If your college park has a fence around it and benches or other seating, don't forget to check their condition. Fences may have bent or holes portions that need to be repaired. For instance, wooden seats might want to be sanded to remove worn down areas that could give kids splinters.
Eliminate Tripping Hazards
These hazards must be removed to reduce the possibility of falls.

Assess School Playground Surfacing
The surfacing material for your college playground should be in good shape, which helps lower the chance of serious injuries, including head injury or cracked bones. This material should offer enough cushioning to lessen accidents if kids fall or trip. If any pieces of the surfacing material are worn out or irregular, they should be raked, repaired, or replaced. Loose fill surfaces, such as wood fiber or rubberized mulch, compress over time and might want to be topped off with additional stuff.
Remove Pests
Bees, wasps and other insects might build nests on park equipment during the summertime. Have any parts you locate removed by pest control professionals, and that means you can be sure this is done safely. In the event of honey bees, some regional beekeepers could be eager to remove nests for you for free so as to help preserve bee population.
