Playground Safety
The City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department is responsible for 72 public playgrounds. We have a playground inspection program that is built around 3 essential components; inspection, maintenance and repair. Our Playground Safety Inspectors hold a certification from the National Recreation and Park Association.
The goal of our program is to minimize the likelihood of serious injury. Research shows that along with being fun playgrounds are important for social, physical and mental development of children. Some level of decision making, and risk is good for the development of children.
We invite you to explore one of our many Raleigh playgrounds.
