Outdoor Sprayground
Playground equipment news: Outdoor Sprayground
More and more cities are opening spraygrounds, which are water playgrounds. At a sprayground, kids can spray each other with water cannons and get sprayed by dozens of water jets that squirt from different colored nozzles and hoses.
1. Be sure to read posted signs for rules, age recommendations, and safety information. Often, no lifeguard is on duty.
2. Protective footwear like water shoes with non-skid soles are a good idea to help prevent falls and other injuries. Remember to bring swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, and hats.
3. Kids should not drink or inhale aerosols of water to minimize risk of water-borne illnesses.
Unsafe Playground Equipment
These types of equipment are not safe for playgrounds:
1. animal figure swings
2. glider swings that hold more than one child at a time
3. swinging ropes that can fray, unravel, or form a noose (any kind of rope attached to play equipment poses a strangulation hazard, so never let your child tie jump ropes or leashes onto the equipment)
4. exercise rings (as used in gymnastics) and trapeze bars
5. monkey bars
6. trampolines
Parents should not place plastic climbing equipment indoors. Even carpet does not give enough protection from falls. This type of equipment is intended for outdoor use on safe surfaces.
Play is an important part of kids' physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development. Following these safety tips will help your kids play as safely as possible.
