Take a moment to imagine this. You’re at the park with your kids, and you can see how happy they are as they run for the slides. However, they suddenly stumble over a bump in the ground and fall. You see a rusty jungle gym and a broken swing as you rush over to see how they’re doing. What should have been a fun day out has become a concerning circumstance.
Unfortunately, we are unaware of how frequently such incidents occur. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, maintaining playgrounds is essential for our community’s safety and wellbeing and can ultimately result in cost savings.
