	Playground Safety
		Parents can help prevent playground accidents by taking some precautions, ensuring that there is adult supervision at the playground, and making sure that any equipment that their child plays on is appropriate to his or her age and maturity level.

		Playground equipment should be designed for two different age groups: 2- to 5-year-olds (preschool children) and 5- to 12-year-olds (school-age children).
