Cohousing-L Mailing List: Unique playground designs

[Linda Aaronson (Laaronson]

We have the good fortune to have among our members a landscape architect who 
has a most original mind and is very good at thinking outside the box. With his 
leadership, Stone Curves is in the process of building a children's playground 
that does not necessarily conform to standards of playground design that are 
required of public playgrounds by most municipalities. We are building our own 
playground features, and not purchasing ready-made equipment. We want a unique 
design that is great fun for all and to save money.

Liability and insurance issues are being discussed with the understanding that 
friends and guests of our children will also be using the equipment. Many 
scenarios have been raised about possible injuries, lawsuits, etc. Has anyone 
else dealt with this issue, and what has your experience been?
