Playgrounds

Playgrounds can provide an important aspect to the development of a child. They are crucial in the growth of a child's motor, perceptual, and social skills. Each year, children are injured on playgrounds as the result of preventable hazards. Public playgrounds and backyard playgrounds are both responsible for these injuries. Even though falls are the most common cause of all injuries suffered, injury can also occur when limbs get stuck in the equipment or when clothing gets caught, presenting a serious strangulation danger. Some hazards that generally cause injury involve defective equipment, improper maintenance, inadequate supervision, failure to post warning signs, and improper surfacing underneath the equipment.
