In Florida, between 2001 and 2008 an average of 218,851 preschool and elementary school aged children received emergency care for playground related injuries. Approximately 51% of those injuries happened on public playground equipment. Unfortunately, 40 deaths were associated with playground equipment. When a child is injured or killed due to a playground equipment injury, a cause of action may result. A municipality may be liable to a plaintiff for injuries occurring to a child on a playground if the municipality fails to meet its required duty. Although a municipality is not an insurer of those who use public parks, the municipality's duty is to exercise due care under the circumstances. This duty does not impose strict liability upon the municipality, but rather imposes a duty to maintain its parks in a condition reasonably safe for public use. Therefore, a municipality has fulfilled its duty when the playground or park is free from danger as reasonably possible. Additionally, for a municipality to be liable for injury resulting from a defective condition in a park or playground, there must be either actual knowledge by the municipality or its employees of the alleged defective condition, or the condition must be so open and obvious and exist for such a length of time that the municipality should have known of it.
