3.Safety measures for playground equipment

Park playground equipment conducts periodic inspections four times a year based on the Yokohama City Park Facility Inspection Manual.
As a result of the inspection, parts will be replaced or repaired as necessary, and if it is damaged or dangerous, use may be prohibited until the repair is completed, but please cooperate to ensure safety. To do.

In Yokohama City, new playground equipment is being replaced sequentially according to the age and condition of the playground equipment. When installing new playground equipment, we select and place playground equipment that meets the safety standards while considering the use of the park and whether a safety area is secured around the playground equipment.
