Compliance Inspector (CI) Jessica Graham investigated the allegation that the swings sets are old and tipping over causing children to fall. This allegation is substantiated and
5 CSR 25-500.092(3)(A) which states: "All outdoor equipment shall be constructed safely, in good condition and free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. Only lead-free paint shall be used."
AND
5 CSR 25-500.092(3)(D) which states: "Stationary equipment such as swings, slides and climbers shall be securely anchored, have no exposed footings and be placed to avoid accidents or collisions."
CI Graham inspected the playground equipment on February 21, 2024. The wooden playground structures did appear to be wobbly and loose. The swing set structure was easy to tip when pushed or when children were swinging.
Sydni Darnell, director, stated that the playground equipment is getting old and she has talked about getting it replaced. She will begin working on getting new equipment and making sure the current equipment meets regulations. No children have fallen or gotten hurt because of the equipment.
