Description

There are many plastic parts of the playground equipment that have become brittle and are now shattering with age. Children could be cut by sharp, hard shards of plastic. Examples of this are:
The large tic tac toe game is shattering at the top.
The game right next to it where kids can ten gears is broken, no longer turns, the clear plastic on one side can no longer be seen through, and it is full of algae or mold at the bottom.
Another yellow plastic section at ground level with a bubble shaped window is also shattering,chunks of plastic are missing from it leaving sharp edges on top.

There is also a 'bridge' section walkway on top which clearly is no longer made of original parts. It is made of a rubbery cloth walkway instead of what ever it should have been made of. It is VERY difficult for smaller children to walk on causing them to slip on it constantly. There is also a wide enough gap for small children to slip through. This is not safe.

Please fix these hazards.
