Playground ground cover: Wood chips

There are 2 playground structures at Spanish Village Park, however, both need significant ground cover before they can be considered safe for children of any age. You'll see from the picture below, that the preschool slide has approximately a 25-inch drop-off at the bottom of it.

The entire structure is too high above the ground, notice the huge step to climb up the stairs onto the equipment in this next picture.

The playground is rather old but still has plenty to do. There is a bubble window, tic tac toe board, slides, and lots of bars and poles.

The backside of the structure has bouncy spring toys, and the cement bases holding them to the ground are exposed.

She had fun on the bouncy horse after I turned the plastic handguards around to empty water from them - might be a better solution to drill holes in the backside of them to drain water - if it rains during warm weather these are sure to breed mosquitoes!

The second playground structure is designed for school-aged children but it too needs more ground cover. Below the hand-over-hand bars, the cement bases are so exposed that they are sticking up several inches out of the ground.
