For safety: Check your child before going to a playground. Take away all materials that may choke your child. Check the playground before your child starts to play. Inspect soft, thick and rubber surfaces. These surfaces protect your child if he/she falls down. If the playground doesn’t have a soft and thick surface let your child play with toys that are not high and can be played with on the ground. Watch your child closely. Stay close to help in case of emergencies. Safety at the playgrounds: Before going to a playground: Inspect the area to see if there are any materials that may choke your child. Remove ropes and strings from the clothes of your child. Use clips rather than strings to fasten gloves in winter. Rather than an shawl use a sweater that protects your child's neck to keep your child warm in winter. Do not let your child play on his/her toys with ropes or a helmet. Check the playground before your child starts to play:
Keep your child away from toys that are taller than 1.5 meters. This is a height that are suitable for grownups. Do not let your child climb higher than this point.
When your child is climbing, swinging or playing with toys that are tall be close to him/her. You should be at a distance to prevent your child from falling down.
Do not let your child play with toys that are intended for older children. Playgrounds usually have two categories of toys; these are toys for children under 5 and toys for children 5 to 12. If your child needs your assistance to play with a toy he/she should not use it. This means that the toys is meant for older children. Teach your child safety rules in the playground:
If the playground does not have a thick and soft surface and your think that some of the toys might be dangerous inform the management of the playground.

Playgrounds are fun. Your child will increase his/her skills and test them and also meet with new friends. But playgrounds may also be dangerous. Many children get hurt when they fall down.
Prefer rubber and thick surfaces over dirty and artificial grass playgrounds. The playground surface should be rubber or sand and also could be made from small rocks or wood shavings. These surfaces protect your child if he/she falls down. If the playground doesn’t have a soft and thick surface let your child play with toys that are not tall. Watch your child closely.
