Now it is a relaxing and enjoyable thing for us togo to playground or parks. Playgrounds and outdoor parks can exercise everyone's sports ability, social skills and spend a wonderful parent-child time. But have you ever found that some parents do not play with their children in amusement parks? How do you feel? Are there some safety hazards? The following is an explanation of some questions raised by the government.
Reasons for prohibiting adults and teenagers from using playground equipment
Safety factors
Some children's playground equipment is designed according to children's body size, weight and physiological characteristics. The structural strength and load-bearing capacity are suitable for children. Adults and teenagers are heavier and stronger. Going to the playground may exceed the equipment's bearing limit, causing equipment damage and safety accidents. For example, adults using children's swings may cause the chain to break and injure people. Therefore, equipment safety protection is designed for children. The range of motion and speed of adults and teenagers are very different from those of children. Existing protection may not guarantee their safety. For example, adults and teenagers using children's slides may fall and collide and get injured due to the fast speed and strong impact. Therefore, adult playgrounds should be designed to ensure everyone's safety.
Experience factors
Some areas and equipment in playgrounds are designed specifically for children to provide them with a safe, fun, and imaginative play environment, allowing children to play and explore in a space that suits them. The use of equipment by adults and adult playgrounds in these areas may disrupt this exclusive play atmosphere and affect children's play experience and psychological feelings.
Order maintenance
Children's playgrounds are usually planned and staffed according to the children's play rhythm and needs. The use of equipment by adults and teenagers may disrupt the original order, causing chaos in the play process, increasing management difficulties, and affecting the experience of other children and parents.
The debate over dog parks and designated children's play areas
Resource issues
Land resources are tight in cities, and park areas are usually limited. When planning, dividing a dedicated dog park and a children's play area may lead to space competition. Children's play areas are usually used more frequently during the day, especially on weekends and holidays, while dog parks may be used more dispersedly. The overlap of different usage needs in time and space can easily lead to conflicts.
Safety issues
Even if dog owners have trained their pets, some dogs may still be aggressive or get out of control due to excitement, causing fright or injury to children.
Hygiene issues
Dogs urinate and defecate anywhere in outdoor play parks. If they are not cleaned up in time, it will affect the environmental hygiene of the park and cause inconvenience to children. When children play in the play area, they may come into contact with dog feces, increasing the risk of contracting diseases.
Environmental aspects
The barking of dogs may interfere with the quiet environment of the children's play area, affecting children's mood and attention. For some amusement facilities or activities that require a quiet environment, such as storytelling and handicrafts, the barking of dogs may destroy the atmosphere.
How to solve it
To solve these disputes, some places have taken measures such as setting up isolation facilities to separate dog parks from children's play areas, stipulating the activity time and area of dogs, and strengthening the management and education of dog owners to balance the needs of dog owners and children's parents and achieve reasonable use and safe sharing of park space.
