As recovery begins in many parts of the world and throughout the U.S., there will be an appropriate concern for play on playgrounds—and communities and local governments are working now to provide guidance on when and how we safely can return to these play environments.
IPEMA (the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association) has developed a suite of COVID infographics for both parents and play professionals which can be accessed on IPEMA’s Voice of Play website, an initiative that promotes growth in the quality and quantity of children’s free play and the use of playgrounds.
These resources serve as suggestions to guide parents and professionals as children return to playing and having fun outside. View them here.
