Safety Standards for Indoor Playground Equipment | Coolplay
“These safety standards have not only helped reduce fatalities and serious injuries on playgrounds, but also raise public awareness and encourage preventive measures to ensure safer play environments.”
Why Safety Standards Are Important in Indoor Playgrounds
When investing in an indoor playground, ensuring compliance with international safety standards is just as important as the design itself. At Coolplay, both safety and quality are our top priorities. All our playgrounds are manufactured with premium, child-safe, and eco-friendly materials that meet or exceed North American, European, Canadian, and Australian safety standards.
With over 10+ years of experience in the playground industry, Coolplay specializes in designing and building indoor playgrounds, trampoline parks, and rope & ninja courses that comply with local safety laws and inspection requirements worldwide.
