Playground Inspections

What This Service Involves

Our Certified Playground Safety Inspectors evaluate structures, fall surfacing, use zones, and hardware against current CPSC and ASTM criteria. Each finding is rated by severity and compiled into a report your risk and parks teams can act on and archive. We photograph deficiencies, note repair recommendations, and track resolution across the inspection cycle. The result is a defensible audit trail that supports insurance requirements and reduces exposure for the jurisdiction.
