Playgrounds and outdoor play equipment provide children with fresh air, friends, fun and exercise. But it's important to make sure fun isn't ruined by faulty equipment, unsuitable surfaces and unsafe behaviour. Each year, more than 200,000 children are treated in hospital ERs for playground-related injuries. Many of these accidents can be prevented with careful supervision.You can make the playground fun and safe for your kids by checking the equipment for potential hazards and following some simple safety guidelines.Teaching children how to play safely is important: if they know the rules of the playground, they are less likely to get hurt.
