Can the use zone of a slide for preschool/school age overlap with the use zone of other equipment?

  1. Yes, if pathways are parallel

  2. No, regardless of pathways

  3. Yes, under any circumstances

  4. No, unless a composite structure

The correct answer is: No, regardless of pathways

The use zone of a slide for preschool/school age cannot overlap with the use zone of other equipment, regardless of pathways. This is because the potential for collisions and injuries increases when use zones overlap. Pathways may provide some separation between equipment, but this does not guarantee safety. Additionally, using a composite structure as an exception would still not allow for overlapping use zones. It is important to follow safety guidelines and maintain proper use zones for each piece of equipment in a playground.
