The logs closeness to each other does not encompass sufficient area to protect a child in the event of a fall off of the log and onto another wooden log.Plan of Correction: We will continually rake the mulch around fall zones as necessary. We have decided to block off the use of two pieces of equipment. The logs, which are around the sandbox, will be covered over the sandbox and logs to avoid use. We will add what items are prohibited for use on the playground in our playground safety plan.
