Natural PlayGROUNDs

RecWise specializes in the development of natural playgrounds. Unlike traditional playgrounds, natural playgrounds seek to conserve the native environment, utilize existing terrain and supplement with additional natural features which are challenging and engaging for youth development.

Playground Safety Inspections

FACT…..the majority of public playgrounds do NOT meet current CPSC and ASTM standards.

Playground audits are recommended immediately following installation with follow-up inspections every 3-years thereafter or when a change in equipment or environment occurs. Lack of maintenance and improper installation or design are the top causes of non-compliance with national standards.

RecWise playground safety audits are performed only by an independent and experienced Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI). Preventative maintenance plans and low frequency inspection services are also available to help your organization in prioritizing the safety of our younger generations.

 

Playground Safety Audit includes:
  • Inspection performed per CPSC and ASTM standards by a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI)
  • Equipment inventory record (post installation)
  • Report of findings including photographs
  • Hazard ratings
  • Documentation of compliance/non-compliance
  • Recommended actions for non-compliant findings
  • Routine maintenance recommendations
