Playground is an essential part of the community life. They are the main source of easy and healthy fun for the kids of all ages. With the playgrounds around it becomes easy to find the best way to keep the kids healthy and happy. There might be a number of playgrounds but it is essentil for the parents or other elders to make sure that the playground that they have chosen is the safest and the most appropriate option for their kids. Some of the local governments have certain rules and regulations set for the playground safety in Australia. The playgrounds that follow these rules are likely to be safer for the kids of all ages. 

If you are planning to give a healthy time to the kids with their peers and friends then have a look on the different playgrounds in your surroundings. Make sure that they are giving the best security to all your kids. Some key features that are essential to guarantee a safe and healthy playtime the following points need to be considered: 

1. Before you choose the right playground make sure that it is not just fun but also physical and mental development. The kids enjoy only when they are able to handle the equipment on their own. If it is not so then they would rather not enjoy the playground. The more complex the equipment gets, the chances of entertainment reduce. Hence, check for the kid’s friendly equipment.  The safety enhances as the surface below the equipment is layered with the safe spreads like the sand or the rubber spreads. These materials should be such that they can easily reduce the chances of getting hurt.  Too much of grass or concrete close to the equipment is not safe. At the same time supports and security rails are a must of the equipment. Besides this a hygienic surrounding is very important. There should be no garbage, dirt or other unhealthy things around.  The materials used for creating the equipment matter a great deal too. It is better to have swings and other such equipment made out of sturdy metal rather than short life plastic. 
2. As you step into the playground have a look on the swings around. Prepare them properly for the playground. Give them the wardrobe that is not too heavy. Constant rushing and jumping around can cause them to sweat which can be really bothering at time. As your kids climb up on the swing check that there is no damage done. There should be no holes or spaces where the hands, feet or the head of the child can get stuck. Ropes and cords are not kids friendly either.  
3. Don’t leave the kids unattended. Especially if you have kids that are less than 5 in age then this supervision is a must.
