This free checklist helps councils and facility managers perform routine play area safety inspections. It covers site condition (fences, gates, pathways, litter), surfacing integrity, and detailed equipment checks including swings, slides, platforms, handrails, fixings, ropes, and structural components for wear, corrosion, sharp edges, and stability. Inspectors can note environmental changes or new equipment, classify findings as safe, unsafe, or monitoring, and capture signatures. Use it to standardize inspections, document hazards, and plan corrective actions.
