An outdoor playground is an area designed for children to play freely. Modern outdoor playground is combination of different pieces of equipment such as slide, climber , walking bridge, and overhead hanging.

typical components of an outdoor playset include:
•    Towers. In a playset, a tower is a vertical structure with one or more decks placed at various levels. A deck is essentially a horizontal play surface contained within or attached to a tower.
•    Bridges. Towers may be connected to one another via fixed bridges or chain bridges for children to walk across.
•    Ladders. Rope ladders and fixed ladders are common accessories for playsets.
•    Sandboxes. A sandbox often accompanies an outdoor playset.
•    Slides. Playground slides may be covered or uncovered.
•    Swings. Swings are usually mounted on a free-standing swingset.
•    Monkey bars. Towers may be connected by monkey bars as well as bridges.

Outdoor playgrounds are an indispensable part for childhood. Thay can be found in parks, kindergardens, schools, backyards and so on. However, there are several tips to pay attention to for your children’s safety while they are playing. Have a glance at the following:

•    Adult supervision is the one of the top methods of accident prevention. Ensure that the playground that you install or use is fully viewable from where adults will be located.
•    Adult presence can also encourage positive and responsible play behaviour in children. It is important that children understand the importance of responsible play, especially when there are other children using the same equipment. No pushing or shoving, taking turns on playground slides, using equipment appropriately, and being aware of danger (e.g. equipment can get hot in the summer, slippery in the rain), are all good things to teach children to help enhance their playtime activity.
•    If you are purchasing outdoor playground equipment, ensure that it is purchased from a reputable supplier. Comprehensive and appropriate installation instructions should be provided and if necessary, they should be able to point you in the direction of installation professionals where required (such as for commercial playground equipment, or large playground swings ). Generally speaking, the larger the piece of equipment, the greater the higher likelihood that a professional may need to assist, but safety needs to be considered for all sized play-pieces.
•    Ensure that the playground design is safe. The layout should have all activities appropriately spaced, the environment should be safe (consider slopes, trees, traffic, underfoot terrain etc. that can all become hazards), and the equipment itself should be designed with safety in mind. In terms of purchasing outdoor or commercial playground equipment, you can cover some of these bases by purchasing from reputable and well-known companies who have high safety standards and good reputations for service and support, then you need to follow their advice on installation procedures.
•    Regular inspection and maintenance is essential to keep your equipment safe. A quick check of all the equipment for stability, foreign objects, and other hazards before letting your children play can avoid many injuries and health risks. This applies to backyard play areas, school playgrounds, public parks, or any other piece of outdoor playground equipment that your child may use.
