No; however, all outdoor activity areas used by children must be accessible from the operation by a safe route. We must approve a plan to use an outdoor activity space that is not connected to the operation, such as a near-by park, schoolyard, or other alternative. We will consider the following criteria before approving the plan:
(1) Traffic patterns of vehicles and people in the area;
(2) Ages of children in the groups;
(3) Availability of appropriate equipment;
(4) Usage of the location by other persons when the children would be most likely to use it;
(5) Neighborhood circumstances, hazards, and risks;
(6) Accessibility to children and caregivers on foot;
(7) Reasonable accessibility of restroom facilities; and
(8) Ability to obtain assistance if needed when injury or illness occurs.
