The main goal behind this project is to save lives and keep families safe
We want to protect our children from getting injured and keep the statistic’s numbers down
We want to keep our children active and if the parks aren’t safe then we have a problem with keeping them active, fit and healthy.
Why is playground safety important?
![Page 3: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Between 2001 - 2008, an average of more than 200,000 preschool and elementary children received emergency department care for injuries that took place on playground equipment.
51% of the injuries happened on public playground equipment
19% occurred on home playground equipment
20% not recorded 1% Other
Now let’s look at the statistic’s
![Page 4: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Of the incidents reported 67% involved falls or equipment failure 8% hazards around but not related to the
equipment 7% collisions with other children or the
equipment 7% entrapments 11% other
Now let’s look at the statistic’s
![Page 5: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Forty Deaths were associated with playground equipment between 2001-2008.
Average age was 6 years 27 deaths were the result of hangings or other
asphyxiations 7 deaths were the result of head or neck injuries Top four equipment pieces associated with
injuries Climbers- 23% Swings- 22% Slides-17% Overhead ladders- 9%
Now let’s look at the statistic’s
![Page 6: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Most Common Injuries are Fractures- 36% Contusions/Abrasions- 20% Lacerations- 17% Strains and Sprains- 12% Internal/ Organs- 5% Concussions- 2% Other- 3%
Now let’s look at the statistic’s
![Page 7: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In 2008, playground-related injuries among children ages 14 and younger cost an estimated $1.2 billion
This is not only costing us safety and lives of children but this is costing us money
By having parks being constantly rebuilt and by having parks maintained every so often we can prevent a lot of these injures and a lot of the money going towards these injuries.
What is this costing us?
![Page 8: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The four parks we went to were: Mountain meadows park in Moorpark Shadow ranch park in woodland hills Filmore Parks
The parks we studied
![Page 9: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So on a scale 1-5 we rated out parks 1-horrible and very unsafe 2-not to bad and almost moderate 3-moderate and decently safe 4-pretty safe and great 5-great and a perfect park
How we rated our parks

We gave mountain meadows a 3 out of 5 The main structure is over fifteen feet high
which would cause serious harm if a child were to fall
Also the cube structure can cause serious burn’s to a child
The spin circle is also very dangerous cause a child can be throw at a high speed on the ground
I feel whoever designed this park was more looking at design and features rather than children’s overall safety

We gave shadow ranch park in woodland hills a 4 out of a 5
This park actually had most its features lower so if a child were to fall a head injury is less serious

The photos are showing the playgrounds from Fillmore
city public parks
In Fillmore exist two kind of playgrounds the new and the old parks with playgrounds and both are with big differences:1. The evident lack of maintenance,
because the budget shorts in the city, like most others cities in US in recent years , the economic recession affects the all the infrastructure and sometimes it doesn’t exist the personnel and the money to keep well maintenance in the parks
![Page 71: Playground safety for health safety and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e0454af7959f83e8b5a56/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The playgrounds in the photos are from parks with wood chips that is a ideal place to develop fungus, insects and worms because keep the humidity and the temp.
In some places the tubes and metal surface are rusted, scratched and peeled form the paint.

2. The new parks are relatively news meeting with all standards like:
• Plastics floors• Guards with protective
plastic
•big space to place the playgrounds•Well maintained facilities like restrooms and water drinking fountains

IPEMA EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION:
In the interest of public playground safety, IPEMA provides a 3rd party certification, to validate conformance to established standards
ISO: Industry certification processes issued by the International Organization for Standardization.
ADA Institute for children with special needs, develop and test accessible products
