Indoor Playground Safety Checklist – What Parents & Owners Must Know

Indoor playgrounds are places of joy, exploration, and development — but only if they’re safe.

As a playground equipment manufacturer with over 15 years of experience, Dream Garden emphasizes that safety is not optional. It’s a must for:

  • Parents who trust the facility with their children

  • Business owners who want to avoid lawsuits and gain customer loyalty

  • Governments who regulate public play spaces

This 2025 safety checklist outlines everything you need to ensure your indoor playground is up to standard — whether you're a parent, investor, or manager.

1. Material Safety Standards
  • Non-toxic & BPA-free materials (PVC, foam, coatings)

  • Fire-retardant (ISO / EN1176 compliant)

  • Anti-bacterial and washable surfaces

Tip: Ask for CE or TUV certificates from the manufacturer.

2. Padding & Flooring
  • ≥ 40mm for floors

  • ≥ 50mm around steel pipes

  • Anti-slip, impact-absorbing, and soft-touch surfaces

Never allow exposed metal, screws, or hard edges.

3. Structural Stability
  • Anchored to ground or wall

  • Reinforced steel frames (≥ 3.0mm thickness)

  • Anti-rust coating: hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated

✅ Dream Garden uses piano-wire springs and industrial-grade platforms.

4. Zoning by Age & Height

Separate play areas based on age:

  • 1–3 years: Low platforms, soft toys, no upper decks

  • 4–8 years: Small slides, padded tunnels, safe obstacles

  • 9–12 years: Ninja courses, wall climbing, trampoline zones

Mixing age groups is risky — always use signage.

5. Anti-Climb, Anti-Fall Design
  • Safety nets on all elevated structures

  • Side barriers ≥ 1 meter on platforms

  • No climbing holds within 50cm of top edges

  • Child-proof emergency exits

6. Routine Maintenance & Daily Inspection

Create a daily checklist for:

  • Torn nets or worn mats

  • Loose screws or bolts

  • Slippery floors or dirty play zones

Monthly full inspection + yearly third-party testing recommended.

7. Cleanliness & Hygiene
  • Hand sanitizers or spray stations at entry

  • Easy-clean PVC and foam materials

  • No carpet or fabric inside play zones

Optional: UV disinfection lights in foam pits and ball pits

8. Clear Signage & Supervision
  • Age & height restrictions

  • Max capacity signage

  • Emergency routes visible

  • Encourage parental supervision with reminders

9. Safety Certificates to Request
  • CE (EU safety compliance)

  • TUV Rheinland / SGS (independent audits)

  • EN1176 & EN1177 (playground safety EU standards)

  • ISO9001 (factory quality system)

Always ask for the official PDF files before purchase.

10. What Parents Should Look For
  • Are the floors soft and anti-slip?

  • Is there staff nearby?

  • Are there sharp edges or broken parts?

  • Is equipment labeled by age?

  • Do you see an emergency exit plan?

If in doubt, don’t risk it.
