INSPECTIONS
Playground inspections are essential for ensuring the safety and compliance of play areas.
CRCS Recreation Inspection Services
Your Trusted Partner in Building Safe, Vibrant Play Spaces. At CRCS Recreation, playground safety is more than just a responsibility—it’s our mission. We believe every child deserves the chance to explore, laugh, and play freely, without the worry of hidden dangers in their play environment. Safety isn’t an afterthought at CRCS; it’s the foundation of everything we do.
Our thorough inspection process is designed to proactively identify and address potential hazards—ensuring that every playground we assess remains a safe, welcoming place for children to thrive.
Drop Testing For Safety Surfacing
Drop testing, also known as surface impact testing, is used to assess the safety of playground surfacing. Since most playground injuries occur due to falls, it's essential to ensure that all playground surfaces comply with the latest CSA standards
How it Works
The test simulates a child falling onto the surface from various heights, measuring the impact and the surface's ability to absorb it. It produces a numerical rating that determines whether the surface meets safety standards or fails to comply.
Operational Inspections: Regular assessments to check for wear and tear on equipment
Annual Inspections: Comprehensive safety reviews are conducted once a year Post-Installation Inspections: Required after new equipment is installed to ensure safety standards are met
Hazard Identification: Inspections aim to identify hazards and ensure that playgrounds provide secure, risk-free environments for children

RETROFITTING
At CRCS Recreation, we don’t just build new – we also specialize in revitalizing existing playgrounds. Our retrofitting services can remodel your dated equipment into innovative and unique play spaces without the need for a complete overhaul.
Why Consider Retrofitting?
Cost effective alternative to a full replacement, extends the life of your existing playground, introduces new play elements and challenges for inclusive and accessible opportunities and updates your playground to meet current safety standards.
We’ve been able to retrofit older equipment, some nearly 30 years old. Our expert team can assess your current play space and provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve your current equipment by adding elements that are inclusive and accessible but most importantly that fit within your budget. This process brings a new look and play experience to the area that everyone will benefit from and love.
