Sample inspector narratives
Staff allowed a child under age 2 years to use play equipment with a five-foot surface height which resulted in the child being injured. (Note: The maximum height of the highest designated play surface for children under the age of 2 years is 32 inches).
On the pre-kinder playground, the highest play designated play area is 6ft 6 inches off the ground. The maximum height for children under age 5 is 5ft.
The metal slide on the Kinder Ready playground exceeds 5 ft from the use zone surface below to the platform of the slide. Children that utilize the playground include 4 yr olds.
