Prior to licensing, exiting mechanisms on gates from a licensed outdoor play area to unlicensed space must be equipped with a self-closing and self-latching mechanism (shuts automatically when released from an individual’s control). A gate that is not an emergency exit must be locked or self-closing and self-latching.

WAC 110-300-0145(11): At the time of the site visit the double gate on the playground has a lock on it but it did not lock the gate but only the metal pole on the one side and the gate was able to be pushed open.
