Public playgrounds, no doubt, have gotten safer over the years, with injury-magnet jungle gyms giving way to shorter structures with railings, padding and age-specific designs. Nonetheless, injuries are still common, with an average of 24 kids being treated in U.S. emergency rooms for playground accidents every hour, Mehan said. Keep your children safe at public playgrounds by taking them to structures designed for their ages and abilities while staying away from equipment that has rust, cracks, rotten areas, and loose or missing parts. As with backyard play structures, make sure your child is playing on a surface with proper padding like mulch or shredded rubber. On warm days, check equipment surfaces to ensure they're hot enough to cause burns. Don't let children add strings, ropes or pet leashes to equipment because those can lead to strangulation. And make sure your child's own attire is appropriate for playground fun: bike helmets, drawstrings and jewelry should be removed while closed-toe shoes are the best shoes for play.outdoor play structures
