Parks & Recreation

The Lower Makefield Township Parks and Recreation Department would like to highlight the potential danger of lap riding down slides with guardians and smaller children.  If a guardian places a child on their lap and rides down, there have been occasions when the child’s outstretched foot, leg, shoe can catch on the side of the slide and with the weight of the guardian cause an injury to the child.  Please practice safe play and reduce injury risk for youngsters by allowing the child to slide by themselves, with supervision and instructions on how to play safely on age appropriate apparatus. Young children can be placed on a slide at the halfway point with a guardian standing next to the slide to assist.
