Regardless of whether the equipment is sanitized or not, a sign posted onsite where it can be easily seen by visitors is appropriate. The sign should simply state:
“Equipment is not/is sanitized.
Play at own risk.”
Even if the city is disinfecting the equipment, it’s not a
guarantee the equipment is safe. Consider adding an informational reference
about coronavirus on your sign for visitors to review, such as http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus or https://mn.gov/covid19/.

If your city is sanitizing your playground equipment, follow
the CDC guidelines on cleaning the equipment prior to disinfecting as a best
practice. The League has a blog on Sanitizing your Playground Equipment During COVID-19 for additional guidance. If there is a concern of damaging the
playground equipment, refer to the manufacturer for guidance and warranty
information.
If you need design or production assistance, check with your
local businesses for a sign company that can offer a template or who can make
one for your city. There are also free
templates available online. If you have additional questions, please reach out to
your city’s loss control consultant.
