Safe for Play

Outdoor play areas and playgrounds provide children with endless opportunities to develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. This book emphasizes the importance of planning for safety, implementing best practices to help prevent injuries, and managing and maintaining dynamic, quality, and developmentally appropriate play areas and playgrounds that allow for interesting, exciting, and valuable play experiences.
