PLAY SUPERVISION
DO NOT allow more than one child to play on the individual swing, trapeze or slide component at any
one time.
DO NOT allow children to stand on the slide, swing seats or any other component of the swing set.
DO NOT allow children to walk too close to moving parts. ALWAYS keep a safe distance to avoid being
struck by other children while playing on swings, slides, etc.
DO NOT allow children to twist the swing chains or ropes, or loop them over the top support bar as this
may reduce the strength of the chain or rope.
DO NOT swing empty seats as this may cause injuries.
ALWAYS guide children to sit in the center of swinging parts, with their full weight placed in the seat
center and holding on to the swing chains.
DO NOT allow children to jump off the equipment while it is in motion. ALWAYS come to a full stop
before dismounting.
ALWAYS dress children appropriately for proper play, e.g. wear well-fitted rubber sole shoes, and
remove loose or sharp items such as jewelry, hair accessories, scarves which may become entangled in
the equipment or cause injuries.
ALWAYS make sure children remove their bike or other sports helmets before playing on the
playground.
DO NOT allow children to slide down the slide head first.
DO NOT allow children to climb onto the swing frame or jump to/from different play areas of the
equipment.
ALWAYS return safely to the ground before approaching another play area.
DO NOT allow children to climb on structural parts (e.g. legs, top bar). These are structural components
and are not designed for play.
ALWAYS check the slide or other parts exposed to the body for extreme heat from the sun before
allowing children to use the equipment.
ALWAYS prevent access and secure from any unauthorized use when there is no adult supervision.
DO NOT allow pets or other animals near the equipment to prevent damage or injuries.
