Correction

The slide exit area is located an appropriate distance from other play equipment.

Additional Guidelines and Recommendations

• For stand-alone “toddler” slides, the use zone is at least 6 feet all the way around the slide. For composite structures, the minimum use zone between access structures and the side of slide is 3 feet.
• For preschool/school age children, the use zone around the slide is 6 feet, except for the slide exit area. Use zones for the slide exit area (slides 6 feet high or less) are 6 feet. For slides over 6 feet high, the use zone in front of the exit is equal to the height of the slide, up to a maximum of 8 feet.
• Use zones should never overlap for different types of equipment. However, use zones for slide exit areas may overlap if the slides are parallel to each other.
• All use zones contain protective surfacing (ground cover).
