This school playground inspection checklist helps districts and safety teams evaluate overall areas, surfacing, and play equipment against ASTM F1487, F2223, F1292 and CPSC guidance. Sections cover site hygiene, accessible routes, surfacing depth and condition, borders, and equipment components such as bolts, chains, slides, swings, climbers, track rides, and seesaws. Inspectors assess hazards like protrusions, pinches, shears, entanglement and entrapment, confirm age appropriateness, signage, supervision, tree condition, and adequacy of impact-absorbing materials around fall zones. Designed for school risk management to document findings and improve playground safety.
