Play responsibly.

Make sure to take off your bicycle helmet when playing on the playground equipment.

Adults should always be present when children play.

There should be soft surfacing underneath the playground equipment.

Pick up the trash.

Tell an adult if playground equipment is broken, and do not play on it until it is fixed.

Safety on Swings: Sit down while you swing. Slow down before you get off of a swing. Do not walk near someone who is swinging. You could get hit if you walk too closely.

Safety on Climbers: Use both hands when you climb. Only climb on dry equipment. You could fall if it is wet.

Safety on Slides: Never climb up the front of the slide. Someone may slide down and hit you. It is safest to slide down with your feet first. Only one person should slide down at a time.

Have FUN!
