PORT PERRY STAR - Real Estate Section - Tuesday, July 9, 1991 - 3 Se Planning a safe backyard play area for the kids date, it's important to remember that children's needs and interests fluc- tuate in accordance with their growth. Remember too, that building projects must com- ply with local building codes. If your project is a big one, you should check with your municipal office before proceeding -- you may need a building permit. If you have a limited budget for your project, you may want to use your im- agination and recycle some old household materials (old boxes or cupboard doors, for instance). However, be absolutely cer- tain that these items are free of any dangers (pro- truding nails, rusty hinges, and so on) before letting your children use them. The ground covering around and underneath the play equipment is another important factor to con- sider. You'll want to have something that will cushion any falls. Grass, sand and wood chips are all possible choices. The surface you choose will depend greatly on the height of the struc- ture you intend to erect (it shouldn't be too high), and how it will be used (will there be a lot of jumping or climbing activites?) You should also use something that's easy to keep clean. Sand, for in- stance, can attract insects and neighborhood pets. If you're using sand in a sand- box, it's advisable to devise some type of cover for the box which can be set in place after playtime is finished. To spark your child's curiosity and imagination, you should try to incor- porate items of interest. Slides, ladders, climbing bars and a sandbox are all possible options. To get ideas, visit your local playground and take a good look at the equipment on hand. Consult with friends and neighbors to see what types of play areas they've provided for their children. You may also want to consult some books on child development to determine what your child's needs will be in terms of ex- ercise and stimulation. Whether the playground you set up is big or small, complex or simple, your child will appreciate having a unique retreat of his/her very own.
