NRPA Education
NRPA is dedicated to providing learning opportunities to advance the development of best practices and resources that make parks and recreation indispensable elements of American communities.
NRPA’s Playground Maintenance Course is a one-day educational course that covers the following topics: playground safety standards and guidelines, playground owner responsibilities and maintenance discussions on playground equipment, surfacing and site items. This course is recommended for maintenance and recreation staff, university seniors and any individual responsible for playgrounds. Participants must be 18 years of age or older and will receive a certificate upon completion of the course.
