If you own or are in charge of playground equipment, you’re responsible for creating a safe environment for children to play. Properly maintained playground equipment minimizes the risk of injuries, extends the life of your equipment and keeps your school looking its best!
Owning a rental community or apartment complex requires you to wear many hats. One of your roles is to make your community a safe and enjoyable place for residents to live. Not only does this bring in better tenants but also it boosts retention as well. While there are many things you can add to your apartment complex to achieve this goal, a dog park is at the top of the list.
When the winter comes, most people spend more time indoors because of the icy sidewalks, cold temperatures and shortened days. If you are responsible for commercial playground equipment you'll want to start preparing your park for the winter during the fall season.
Dog parks are surging in popularity. Since 2007, these pet-friendly parks have grown by 89 percent. Nearly every major city in the U.S. now has at least one dog park.
Regular cleaning is an important factor in keeping public playground equipment safe and sanitary. While routine sanitization has always been a priority, it’s even more so now with COVID-19.
When people think of parks and playgrounds, they generally consider the benefits for their own community.
Elementary school playgrounds offer a unique opportunity for children to play, practice their skills and gain confidence. They also provide a much-needed break from the classroom. While there is no evidence on how much recess is best, it’s clear that getting kids outside can fight obesity, improve concentration in the classroom and encourage essential social skills.
Many people prefer to live in apartment complexes and homeowners associations because of their affordability, ease of maintenance and amenities. Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities for building owners to get involved in their properties. In doing so, your community can be one of the most desirable places to live in your area!
