Providing Safer Environments for Fun, Active PlayRequest Our Playground Maintenance Guide and Checklist
Maintaining your play system is important as it may contribute to safer play for children, reduce the risk of injury and prolong the life of your playground equipment.
As part of our Safety Resource Series, GameTime has published the Playground Maintenance Guide and Playground Supervision Guide. Authored by playground safety consultants Teri and Daniel Hendy of Site Masters Inc., these comprehensive guidebooks will help you properly identify and correct potential hazards on the playground, and provide tips for supervising the play environment effectively.
We also provide a quick and easy playground maintenance checklist to help identify problem areas on your playground.
