Maintaining your playground equipment and its surrounding area is essential to minimizing the risk of injury to users as well
as maximizing its useful lifespan. UltraPlay STRONGLY recommends that you follow these Safety Guidelines in conjunction with
conducting periodic maintenance inspections using the accompanying
Playground Maintenance Checklist.
When installing your playground, always consider local conditions. Good common sense works hand-in-hand with the instructions.
LOCATING YOUR PLAY STRUCTURE:
Comply with the following when choosing the location for your new equipment:
Equipment shall be positioned to eliminate
con
fl
icting traf
fi
c patterns. As a general rule, allow at least 6’ of free space around the entire structure, EXCEPT for slide exits,
which require a distance X equal to the highest point of the sliding surface with a minimum of 72 inches and maximum of 96
inches from the edge of the slide.
See Figure 1 below
(example: a Slide from a 6 foot deck requires 6 feet of clear space with
resilient surfacing in front of its exit). Discovery Centers slides are 4 feet or shorter; therefore, the slide exit use zone is 72
inches. Swings must have a minimum of twice the swing beam height of free space in front and behind them for safe circulation.
See
fi
gure 2 below
(example: a swing with an 8 foot high toprail requires 16 feet of free space in front and another 16 feet behind
it, for a total of 32 feet). These minimum areas should be
fi
lled with the appropriate resilient surface material. Read further for
resilient surfacing recommendations.
