The climbing equipment has many places of peeling paint, the steps up the climber is broken and sharp. There is a car shaped piece of equipment that has broken slats. Some of the slate were replaced, but not all. This is an entrapment danger. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 824 Outdoor play area was not enclosed by fence with a minimum height of 4 feet. The top of the fence, less than six feet, was not free from protrusions. The fence has large holes in it and is coming down in places. These areas are entrapments and has protrusions. GS 110-91(6); .0605((i) 1867 The depth of the loose surfacing was not based on critical height of the equipment. The mulch around all of the climbing structures does not have the required depth of surfacing. It is not the required depth, nor is it the required 6 feet from the critical height of the equipment. Grass/weeds have crept into the mulch decreasing the required fall zone. .0605(k)(1-4) In order to maintain compliance with North Carolina child care laws and rules, the above violations must be corrected immediately.

The playground climbing equipment has peeling and chipped paint. The metal steps on the climber with the slides is broken and sharp. There is a car shaped piece of equipment with planks on the back. Some of the planks have been replaced, but not all of them and this is an entrapment issue. The mulch is not the required depth, nor is it the required 6 feet from the critical height of the equipment. The mulch has weeds growing in it and that makes the mulch very compacted. A barrier would help contain the mulch in the areas it is required. The perimeter fencing around the playground has holes in it and is coming completely down in places. If a fence is up it must be maintained and safe. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
