Use this playground safety checklist to standardize routine inspections of public and school playgrounds. Assess the condition of swings, slides, platforms, ladders, nets, drums, and signage. Check for sharp edges and splinters, loose bolts, damaged wood, exposed hardware, unstable structures, and missing safety features. Document hazards, capture notes, and assign follow-up actions to ensure timely maintenance. This template supports recurring inspections across multiple playgrounds and helps parks departments, schools, childcare centers, and facility teams keep play areas safe and compliant.
