4. PREPARE THE PLAYGROUND
Before opening your playground to residents, make sure you have a thorough
understanding of local and federal guidelines for reopening this amenity—and start
by addressing these requirements before anything else. Beyond sanitization efforts,
ensure the equipment is safe for kids. Look for loose screws and nuts, chipped paint,
and anywhere water can pool to create a slippery or moldy surface. Check nearby
splash pads for any necessary updates.
Also, consider adding soft surfaces, like mulch, to help decrease injuries, and invest
in sunshades or canopies to prevent equipment from becoming too hot.
