Water playgrounds and outdoor play equipment offer kids fresh air, friends, and exercise. So it's important for parents to make sure that faulty equipment, and careless behavior don't ruin the fun.

Adult Supervision

Adult supervision can help prevent injuries by making sure kids properly use playground equipment and don't engage in unsafe behavior around it. If an injury does occur, an adult can assist the child and administer any needed first aid right away.

Kids should always have adult supervision on the playground. Young kids (and sometimes older ones) can't always gauge distances properly and aren't capable of foreseeing dangerous situations by themselves. Older kids like to test their limits on the playground, so it's important for an adult to be there to keep them in check.

Before you visit a playground,especially water playground, check to make sure that play areas are designed to allow an adult to clearly see kids while they're playing on all the equipment.

Playground Design Safety

The most important factors in evaluating the safety of any playground are design, equipment inspection and maintenance.

Playground equipment should be designed for three different age groups: infants and toddlers under 2, 2- to 5-year-olds (preschoolers), and 5- to 12-year-olds (school-age kids). 

In the safest playgrounds, play areas for younger children are separated from those meant for older kids and signs clearly designate each area to prevent confusion.

Younger children should not play on equipment designed for older kids because the equipment sizes and proportions won't be right for small kids, and this can lead to injury. Likewise, older kids shouldn't play on equipment designed for younger ones. Smaller equipment and spaces can cause problems for bigger kids.

Maintenance and Inspection

Whether your kids play on a home or public water playground, it's important for you to take a general look at the equipment to make sure that it is intact, clean and well maintained.All hardware on equipment should be secure, with no loose or broken parts.

If a part seems broken, loose, or in need of other maintenance, designate it as off-limits immediately and report the problem to the appropriate authorities.

Teaching Kids About Playground Safety

Safe playground equipment and adult supervision are extremely important, but it's only half of the equation: Kids must know how to be safe and act responsibly at the playground, especially at the water playground.

Teach your kids to:

• Never push or roughhouse while on jungle gyms, slides and other equipment.

• Use equipment properly — slide feet first, don't climb outside guardrails, etc.

• Always check to make sure no other kids are in the way if they're going to jump off equipment or slide.

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.
