Safety Resources

Kids will always find new and inventive ways to play on playground equipment. While this exercise is great for the imagination, it may not be the best for their safety. Bumps, bruises and scraped shins will happen but it’s important to take steps to eliminate the risk of more serious injuries.

Many playground injuries can be prevented, but it takes effort by everyone involved—from the designer to the owner to the user of the play equipment. Through industry-leading design engineering and quality materials, together with Landscape Structures we emphasize safety and durability while creating innovative and fun environments.

With our age-appropriate products, safety surfacing, and shade systems we can help you create your ideal playground that meets playground safety guidelines to keep kids safe.
