Playground safety

We all love the thrill of a play park - soaring through the air on the swings; spinning round and round on the roundabouts and sliding down chutes at top speed.

It’s all great fun and while the schools are on holiday, these are popular activities for families and children of all ages to enjoy, whatever the weather.

Safety is always our priority and whilst it’s our job to keep the equipment safe, we still need parents and carers to keep a watchful eye on their youngsters as they play. 

Age-specific play equipment

In East Ayrshire we have a range of play equipment on offer in our play parks, and these are all clearly colour-coded to indicate what age groups should be using the equipment.

Our play equipment is suitable for:

  • 2 to 6 years (coded red circle) - adult supervision is required at all times 
  • 7 to 12 years (coded green square) - no running, pushing or shoving
  • 12 plus years (coded blue triangle) - use equipment properly

There is signage in all of our parks indicating this, but we would always encourage appropriate adult supervision, especially for young children who possibly cannot interpret these signs and those using our accessible play equipment.

Please share this guidance with your children and young people. By working together we will ensure our children have fun and stay safe!

Fault reporting

All play parks are inspected on a weekly basis by fully qualified employees to check for problems. Any problems found during the inspection are fixed onsite or placed in a maintenance schedule.

An outside body, which is fully qualified and specialises in park safety, is employed on a yearly basis, to survey all play parks and to report all risks found.
