Adult Supervision Required Signs
A supervision sign tells parents that a play area or pool is not staffed and that children need an adult with them, and parks, apartment playgrounds, pool decks and day camps post it at the entrance. Put your age limit on the extra line, such as Children under 12, so parents know exactly who the rule covers.

Where adult supervision required signs are used
A ballfield's spectator bench with a play area beside it, a golf course's kids' zone, a riverside shore where small children wade, a dance studio lobby with a play corner, or a motel pool with a small splash area all see children arrive without a parent. A ballfield operator may post one at the field gate, and a studio owner might put one at the play corner. It sets the expectation that an adult stays with the child.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Put it at the entrance to the play area, at about eye level, so an adult reads it on the way in. The 24 by 18 in size suits a gate or a fence post, and 12 by 12 in fits a small play corner or a door. Aluminum is the right choice outdoors, since it is rust-free and holds up to sun and damp grass. Plastic is light and suits indoor play corners. Use holes or zip ties, and check your state and local rules for supervision requirements.
Questions about adult supervision required signs
What age should the sign state?
Use the age your property sets, such as children under 12, and write it the same way on your rules sign. If your local rules set an age for a public area, use that number. The preview shows the line as you type, so check it before you order.
Black on yellow or white on blue?
Black on yellow is the eye-catching choice for a busy gate. White on blue suits a quieter park or HOA area and matches a rules sign beside it. Pick one colour family for every play-area sign so the set looks like one system.
Does this sign protect me from liability?
No. A sign gives notice, but it does not replace supervision or settle your legal exposure. Talk with your insurer or an attorney about your own risks, and check your local rules for public play areas.
Does the sign mean the area is watched?
No. The sign sets the expectation that an adult is with the children, and it does not mean staff are watching the area. If your site has no staff on duty, say so in your own posted rules beside the sign.
Can I put this sign on a fence by a pool?
Yes. The 24 by 18 in size fits a fence panel near a pool gate, and the holes on aluminum let you fix it to the fence. Plastic works where the sign will not be hit. Check your state and local rules, since pool areas often have their own posting and supervision requirements.
