Manage episode 370737397 series 3384940
Playgrounds are some of a parks and recreation agency’s most important assets. But they could also be some of the most dangerous. According to the National Playground Safety Institute (NPSI), over 79% of all playground accidents are from children falling onto improper or poorly maintained surfacing. In fact, surfacing is number 1 of the NPSI’s Dirty Dozen playground hazards.
Choosing and maintaining suitable surface material for a playground helps reduce the risk of serious injuries.
But what is suitable for your playgrounds? There are many types of playground surfaces to choose from--each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
In this episode of the Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast, we discuss some of the more common loose-fill surface options. We’ll examine their safety, durability, cost, and maintenance needs.
