DEFINITIONS
Age-Appropriate: A term that describes equipment scale to include platform
height, fall height and maximum equipment height, that allows safe and
successful use by children of a specific chronological age; mental and
physical ability; and anthropometric measurement. Maximum equipment height
and complexity will not exceed a child's ability in that age group.
Composite Structure: Also "Composite Play Structure; Linked Structure".
Two or more play events attached, directly adjacent or functionally linked,
to create one integral unit that provides more than one play activity.
Designated Play Surface: Any elevated surface for standing, walking,
sitting, or climbing; or a flat surface a minimum 50 mm 2 inches wide
having up to a maximum 30 degree angle from horizontal. In some play
events the platform surface will be the same as the designated play
surface. However, the terms should not be interchanged as they do not
define the same point of measurement per ASTM F 1487.
Maximum Equipment Height: The highest point on the equipment (i.e., roof
ridge, top of support pole).
Play Event: A piece of manufactured playground equipment that supports one
or more play activities.
Protective Surfacing: Material to be used within the use zone that meets
the fall attenuation requirements of Section 02791 PLAYGROUND PROTECTIVE
SURFACING.
Suspended Hazard: Cable, wire, rope or similar devices suspended up to a
maximum 2100 mm 7 feet high between play events; or installed up to a
maximum 45 degree angle from the ground to the play event.
Tot:
A child under 4 years of age in the pre-toddler and toddler age group.
