Choosing the
right play events without a strategy and a knowledgeable approach can be an
overwhelming and disappointing assignment. As you begin the process of selecting and installing a safe playground for your community, your NPCG program manager will walk you through the complex world of safety and compliance, helping you choose age-appropriate, ASTM- and ADA-compliant equipment and surfacing for your playground. He or she will help you:
- establish priorities based on age groups of users and desired social, intellectual, emotional and physical learning areas,
- examine equipment and safety surfacing options that fit your budget and your space,
- provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about the play experience that's right for your needs.
Your program manager can also help you look down the road at maintenance and inspection requirements so your new playground can pass a certified playground safety inspection after it's installed...and for years to come.
After reviewing and selecting from the large variety of design options available from NPCG, your program manager will work with our engineers to develop an integrated, customized playground design for your inspection and approval.
