Playground Rules Signs
Playground rules belong at the entrance, where parents and children read them before they start to play. Apartment complexes, HOAs, daycares and town parks post them at the gate or on a nearby fence, and the extra line can add a reminder such as Adult supervision required.

Where playground rules signs are used
A tot lot behind a townhome row, a preschool's outdoor yard, a village green swing set, or a play structure at a church lot all draw families who arrive with a stroller and a bag of snacks. A property manager may post the rules at the play area's main gate, and a parks committee might put a copy on a nearby fence. It sets the basic play rules before a child climbs the first ladder.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Mount the rules at the entrance or on the fence nearest the gate, at eye level, so parents read them before children run in. The 24 by 18 in size fits a gate, and 18 by 12 in suits a fence post or a narrow side panel. Aluminum is the right pick, since it is rust-free and gloss printed for sun. Plastic is light and suits a covered play shelter. Use holes or zip ties, and check your state and local rules for signs a play area must carry.
Questions about playground rules signs
Which rules belong on a playground sign?
List the rules your property actually enforces, such as no running near the swings or no glass. Keep the sign short enough to read from the path. Many states and counties set their own rules for public playgrounds, so check local requirements before you write the list.
Can this sign say the playground is safe?
Avoid claiming safety on a sign. Use it for rules and hours, and keep safety claims out of the wording. For a public playground, check your local rules, because a sign alone does not show that a play area meets any standard.
Which size fits a playground gate?
A 24 x 18 in landscape sign reads from the path and suits a gate panel or fence. A 12 x 18 in portrait sign fits a narrow post. Corner holes let you screw an aluminum sign to a rail.
Can the sign list an age range?
Yes. The extra line can name an age range, such as Ages 2 to 8, and the live preview shows it under the printed words. Match the line to the equipment, and keep it plain. A separate adult supervision sign can also suit an area with a clear age rule.
Do I need a sign on every play structure?
One sign at the main entrance usually covers a play area. A second sign near a separate structure or a far gate helps people who enter from another side. Check the sign's view from each approach, and keep it in the same spot each season so parents know where to look.
