Residents of apartment buildings, under certain conditions, can build a playground in the yard at their own expense. Construction requires approval from the authorities, as well as certain material costs. Since a playground is considered a site of increased safety responsibility, there are a number of state standards that the playground must comply with.
- Conditions for construction
- Requirements for children's playgrounds
- How much can it cost How to divide the cost among the residents of the house
Contacting the management company
Before you get a playground in your yard, you need to contact the management company. For this purpose, an act is drawn up with the signatures of all residents. It outlines complaints about the condition of the playground. It is advisable to attach photographs of objects located in the yard to your application. For the act, it is not necessary to hold a meeting of all neighbors.
After submitting the application, you must notify it by phone. In this case, you need to force the date of application to be recorded. In addition, you should send an appeal to the head of the company. It should require an inspection of the site and elimination of existing shortcomings. According to the civil code, the period within which company representatives are required to consider the application is 7 days. If the requirements are not met, you must contact the state housing inspectorate.
It should be noted that it is worth drawing up an appeal only if the playground is adjacent to the building. In this case, it is considered household property for common use.
To find out, you need to read the agreement with the management organization. In this document you need to find the appendix “List of works for the maintenance of common property”. It is there that it is indicated whether the site is adjacent to the house or not. In some cases, it turns out that it is a yard, and therefore cannot be repaired by the management company.
It is also worth noting that if the site needs reconstruction or replacement, the management company may refuse to carry out the work, citing lack of funds. In case of refusal, you should complain to the district administration. This can be done by email and by phone.
GOST R 52169-2003
4.3.21.7 The structural elements being checked by calculation or tested must withstand the most unfavorable combination of applied loads. To do this, it is necessary to consider cases where part of the load causing the beneficial effect is removed according to Figure 5.
Note - When using this standard, it is advisable to check the validity of reference standards and classifiers using the “National Standards” index compiled as of January 1 of the current year, and according to the corresponding information indexes published in the current year. If the reference document is replaced (changed), then when using this standard you should be guided by the replaced (changed) standard. If the reference document is canceled without replacement, then the provision in which a reference to it is given applies to the part that does not affect this reference.

Municipal authorities
In courtyard areas, the installation of platforms is carried out by the municipality. This is where you should go if there is no playground in the yard or it is unsuitable for use. It should be noted that in any city, programs are periodically carried out to improve the courtyard area. You need to follow them in order to write your application on time.
To do this, it is necessary to convene a meeting of residents and draw up an appeal. It is also worth inviting a representative of the management company.
Construction of the site using your own money
The most effective way to create a playground in your yard is to invest your own funds. In this case, you can get not a standard playground, but one that is more reliable and interesting for children.
To do this, you need to convene a meeting of apartment owners in your building. During the discussion, it is determined how much will have to be spent on construction and whether your neighbors are willing to pay for the site.
A representative of the HOA must be present at the meeting. As a result of its implementation, a protocol is drawn up, which indicates the decision. If all the neighbors agree to build a site at their own expense, an application must be submitted to the district government. From there it will go to the Architectural and Planning Department. If you know an architect, he can draw up the plans himself. Then you need to collect all the documents that permit construction work. You can find out where to obtain documents from the city council. After collecting all the necessary papers, they are submitted to the council. It is there that the decision is made. It must be remembered that all elements on the playground must meet safety requirements.
Safety of children's playgrounds - GOSTs and standards
Some regulations are advisory in nature, while others are mandatory. Each site must necessarily have a safety data sheet (GOST 2.601); sites that were built before the introduction of the safety data sheet must be reconstructed in accordance with current safety requirements.
4.3.21.6 During full-scale tests of the load-bearing capacity of equipment structures in accordance with Appendix B, the ability of each structure to withstand both permanent and temporary loads acting on the equipment and its individual parts is confirmed.

Requirements for children's playgrounds
In 2003, 14 requirements were developed that contribute to the creation of better and safer structures. When constructing a site, builders are guided by the following requirements:
- All railings and fences must have anti-slip coating. This helps reduce the risk of injury to structures. If the facility is intended for very young children, it should have steps near the ground. The corners of all structures on the site must be safely rounded.
- Since the slide is an object of increased danger, the starting area must be equipped with railings. In this case, the lower part of the slide should not rise above the ground above 3.5 cm. The radius of curvature of the structure should be more than 5 cm. Sides must be installed along the entire length of the slide.
- The Guest also specifies safe types of surfaces and types of equipment suitable for children's playgrounds.
- According to SNIP, a safety data sheet must be compiled for each site. If the structures were built before 2005, they must be reconstructed.
- In addition, the building codes and regulations indicate the distance of children's and sports grounds from other elements of the yard, as well as the need for landscaping.
- According to regulations, surfaces on sports and playgrounds must be safe and anti-slip.
- All coatings of installed objects must not deteriorate under the influence of weather conditions.
If the objects on the site do not meet even one of the listed requirements, you can contact the city administration with a description of the problem. If necessary, you should send several emails and make several calls to ensure that messages have been addressed.

There is a sports ground in the courtyard of a multi-storey building. There is a lock on this site and a work schedule. Is it even legal to broadcast a castle onto a sports field?
Platform sizes
The amount of space on the playground depends on the age of the children for whom it is being created. The location of residential buildings also affects the size. On average, the size of the playground for preschoolers is about 60 square meters. If built for older children, it can range from 100 to 1500 square meters.
Taking into account all the described rules, you can draw up a project for a future site or demand its reconstruction from the management organization. If there are a large number of children per site, this may also be a reason to contact the management organization or city administration, since the size should be determined based on the average number of children in an apartment building.
SNiP for playgrounds
4.1 2.2 Children's playgrounds are intended for games and active recreation of children of different ages: preschool (up to 3 years), preschool (up to 7 years), primary and secondary school age (7 -1 2 years). Playgrounds can be organized as separate playgrounds for different age groups or as complex playgrounds with zoning based on age interests. For children and teenagers (12-16 years old), it is recommended to organize sports and gaming complexes (micro-climbing walls, velodromes, etc.) and equip special places for riding scooters, roller boards and ice skates.
We recommend reading: Collection of compensation for delayed payment of wages
4.12.4.2 The optimal size of playgrounds for children of preschool age is 70-150 sq.m, for school children - 100-300 sq.m, complex playgrounds - 900-1600 sq.m. It is allowed to combine preschool playgrounds with adult recreational playgrounds (the size of the playground is at least 150 sq.m). Adjacent playgrounds for children and adults should be separated by dense green plantings and (or) decorative walls.
Using the internet reception
You can also submit an application to the online reception of your city administration. To do this, just go to the administration’s website and follow the “mayor” link. After this you need to do the following:
- Register and authorize your account.
- Send a message to the administration.
- Before sending, you must check the “written response” box. Thanks to this, you are guaranteed to receive a response to your request.
Also at this time, you can contact a company that installs children's and sports grounds. At this stage, you can draw up a project yourself to find out exactly the cost of all structures. After this, you need to call the accounting department of the house management to clarify the list of documents required to complete the application. At this stage, the house management may refuse assistance due to lack of the required amount of funds. In this case, you need to contact the mayor's office again.
Is it possible to make a platform with your own hands?
If the site has not been installed or you are tired of waiting for its construction, you can make several objects yourself. The main condition for carrying out such work is the use of high-quality materials. It is cheaper to use wood. To ensure that the objects created are safe for children, special attention must be paid to the quality of processing of each detail. The surface of all elements must be thoroughly cleaned and the edges rounded. This will reduce the likelihood of injury while using the playground.
One of the main elements of any site is the house. You can easily do it yourself by drawing up a drawing. During design, it is important to take into account the height of children. It is best to use ready-made projects, as they are based on the characteristics of young children who play in such buildings.
In addition, there should be a sandbox on the playground. It is also easy to make from wood. To create it, edged boards are used. They need to be thoroughly cleaned and the edges made more rounded. It is best to secure the boards using bolts. Since these are the fasteners that can withstand heavy loads.
It is advisable to create a lid for the sandbox. This will prevent debris from getting into it and spreading sand throughout the yard. If there is no cover, sand can be carried tens of meters when the wind appears. But in most cases, when creating sides of a standard height, this does not happen and the cover is needed only to protect it from debris.
Most often, sandboxes are created in the shape of a square or hexagon. The first option is more preferable, since making such a sandbox is quite simple. At the same time, it is easy to make a lid for such a design. If desired, you can make the lid from several parts.
The sand that will be used to fill the sandbox should not contain stones or other inclusions. It should be noted that the described structure should be placed under trees, since after getting wet the sand remains wet and cold for a long time. To protect wooden elements from destruction, they should be varnished before filling the sandbox.
SNIPs and laws on the installation of playgrounds
within the security zones of heating networks, it is not allowed to carry out actions that could lead to disruptions in the normal operation of heating networks, their damage, accidents or impeding repairs: blocking approaches and entrances to objects and structures of heating networks, storing heavy and bulky materials, erecting temporary structures and fences; arrange sports and playgrounds, unorganized markets, public transport stops, parking for all types of cars and mechanisms, garages, vegetable gardens, etc.
