The City of Winter Springs has 15 Playgrounds (9 Youth and 6 Tot).
The city promotes the rights of children to play in a safe environment. In order to
maintain the safest playgrounds possible, even the best playgrounds should be
regularly maintained and reviewed.
The National Recreation and Parks Association has developed and maintains a
Certification Program for those responsible for public use playground operations.
The National Playground Safety Instructor Course and Examination is the most
Comprehensive Training Program on Playground Hazards Identification and Risk
Management Methods offered in the world.
Advanced reading and 15 hours of training are required prior to taking the very
difficult certification examination. "Playground Safety Inspectors should be nearly
flawless in their knowledge of the basic standard of care while conductin9 their
business in accordance with the Certified Playground Safety Inspectors Code of
Professional Conduct". There are less than 10,000 Certified Playground
Inspectors Worldwide.
