This CPSC playground safety maintenance checklist helps facility teams and operators assess playground conditions for safety and compliance. Inspect surfacing and drainage, identify common hazards such as sharp edges, entanglement or trip risks, and check hardware security and the overall condition of equipment and site fixtures. Record issues like rust, rot, cracks, missing components, damaged fences or signs, and signs of vandalism. The checklist also prompts checks for lead paint, debris, and the proper anchoring of equipment. Ideal for schools, parks, and childcare providers to standardize routine inspections and document corrective actions.
