Is Your Playground Due for an Inspection? Use this quick 2-minute safety checklist to find out.

Maintaining a safe, compliant playground isn’t a “set it and forget it” task. Wear, weather, and usage can quickly turn a fun space into a liability.

Use this short safety self-check to assess whether your playground might be overdue for a professional inspection.

🔎 Playground Self-Check:

1. When was your last professional inspection?

• ✅ Within the last 12 months → Go to Question 2

• ⏰ More than 12 months ago → Schedule an inspection

2. Have there been any modifications or repairs since then?

• ✅ Yes → Schedule a post-modification inspection

• ❌ No → Go to Question 3

3. Do you regularly check for hazards like exposed footings, sharp edges, or worn surfacing?

• ❌ No → Immediate inspection recommended

• ✅ Yes → Go to Question 4

4. Have you received any complaints or injury reports related to the playground?

• ❗ Yes → Inspection required ASAP

• ✅ No → Go to Question 5

5. Is your surfacing (mulch, rubber, turf) compacted, thinning, or eroded in high-traffic areas?

• ⚠️ Yes → Potential fall hazard — consider evaluation

• ✅ No → You're likely in good shape — but annual checks are still recommended

💡 Final Thoughts:

This self-check doesn’t replace a certified inspection — but it can highlight obvious red flags.

If you're unsure or answered "yes" to any of the hazard-related questions, now is the time to schedule a safety review before issues become liabilities.
