This comprehensive checklist supports routine safety audits for public recreational facilities, including playgrounds, outdoor gyms, MUGA courts, splash pads, and skate parks. It guides inspectors through site observations, fencing and gate integrity, hygiene, vegetation control, and equipment-specific checks for fasteners, moving parts, surfacing depth, and entrapment risks. It references RoSPA guidance and European standards EN 1176 and EN 16630 for compliance, and covers documentation, maintenance schedules, and inspection frequency (RPII levels). Use it to record issues, attach photos, and prioritize repairs.
