6 Ridiculously Simple Ways To Improve Your Indoor Playground Equipment

Properly inspecting and keeping up on maintenance of your indoor park will go a long way to guarantee the safety of your guests.

The indoor playground should be inspected each morning prior to opening, as well as through the day. All employees should be suitably trained in what to search for while inspecting the play gear.

Maintaining your playground to maintain optimal condition is vital to the security and achievement of your play area. Regular maintenance is to be anticipated, and is an extremely important part of owning and operating an indoor playground.

Normal maintenance includes replacement of certain parts from time to time such as post padding, netting, plastic components, and replacement of ball pit balls. Additionally, it includes making certain nuts, bolts, and other hardware is intact, tightened, and also in good condition. Windows and domes should be free of any openings; if cracked or broken, they need to be replaced promptly.

Necessary maintenance should be recognized during routine inspections. Some playground owner operators prefer using an outside company to perform maintenance on the play structure.

The protective pads covering the posts should be scrutinized for signs of wear. Make sure no pieces of padding are overlooking. Make certain that there are no zip ties overlooking; replace as required. Also check to be certain that there are no exposed ends or sharp edges on the twists.

Netting

Netting should be secure and undamaged. Inspect the netting for holes/tears is important, particularly on upper levels of this playground. Small holes/tears will continue growing, becoming a potential entrapment problem or even kids falling through. Small holes/tears can be sewn back together. Larger holes/tears will require the netting to be substituted in the affected region.

Safety Floor

Inspect the safety floor to ensure it is not coming up at connection points. Be sure to pay attention for tripping hazards. Replace as required.

Check all webbing, mesh cloths, and vinyls are secure and free of tears. This includes, but not restricted to, deck boards, web bridges, and internet platforms. Inspect the stitching in webbing for signs of failure.

Make certain there are no cracks in plastic elements, windows, and domes.
