Findings: Observed the blue and white large striped shade cloths tied to 2 of the 3 huge wooden posts anchored in the ground. The posts are to secure the shade cloths. The cloths have been torn, probably by the wind and weather (ice and snow) and are very low and are currently presenting a strangulation hazard to the children. There are loose ropes/cords that could be reached by the children. Please immediately secure the loose ropes so they are out of reach of the children. Observed a chainsaw, weed-whacker and lawn mower on the grounds of the property. These 3 items were not in the fenced in play area, but should be safeguarded out of reach of children. Please immediately make these items inaccessible. There is standing water in a brown plastic piece of equipment, which is in the digging area. Please immediately empty the water. There were children playing on the playground today. Please forward written corrective action within 30 days.
