Playground Warning Signs
On July 24, 1991, the City Council approved the installation of park signs
which would warn parents regarding the appropriate uses of the playground
equipment. This item was not implemented during the vacancy of the
Community Services Director's position.
Prior to purchasing the signs, Councilman Wozniak expressed a desire to
alter the wording for more clarity. The suggested wording does not alter
the intent or purpose of the proposed sign.
Staff is further recommending that the last sentence be eliminated as
there is no indication that this can be substantiated by the manufacturer.
As this language is slightly different than what was originally approved.
Staff is recommending a council action to formally adopt the suggested
new wording.
As requested by the City Council, this sign will be posted in both English
and in Spanish.
"ATTENTION (Warning): THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDS ITS USE BE LIMITED TO CHILDREN OVER THE AGE OF 5. USE OF THIS
PLAY EQUIPMENT BY CHILDREN NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED AGE
GROUP MAY RESULT IN INJURY."
