No federal rule requires playground inspections
A kid got hurt on the swing bay and counsel wants two years of files.
The inspections happened. Somebody walked every structure in the spring with a clipboard. That clipboard is in a drawer at the maintenance yard with three months missing and no dates on half the pages.
No regulator requires this. That is the honest version — this is a revenue tool, not a compliance tool.
01 / The inspection
Tap through it the way a parks crew would.
8 items, about forty seconds. Mark one as a fail and watch what the Structure record does.
Structure closed pending repair
The structure reads closed in the log with a photo and a date, and it stays closed until a later inspection clears it. That timestamp is the thing that holds up two years later.
02 / The record log
“Every inspection of the Riverside swing bay, going back two years.”
Every finished inspection lands here, searchable by Structure, Inspector, record number or date. Try PK-12.
03 / What it would cost
One price. No per-seat math.
- —Dated, photographed record per structure — not per park, per structure
- —A closed structure stays closed in the log until a later inspection clears it
- —Surfacing depth tracked over time, so migration shows as a trend
- —Search by structure, park, inspector or date
- —Export one structure's full history as a PDF for counsel or your insurer
- —Runs on a crew phone in the park, no laptop back at the yard
- —Missing months show as gaps instead of quietly not existing
