How are the Interactive Play areas Maintained and Cleaned Throughout the Day?
Having little ones of my own and asking myself the same question, I’m sure you want to know how Dollywood takes care of its interactive play areas, how they keep them safe, and clean for all visitors. Dollywood takes the maintenance and cleanliness of its play areas, and the whole park in general, very seriously. With so many kids running around, playing, and touching every single little thing they’re hands can get on, it’s very important to make sure the areas are clean, sanitized, and free of any safety hazards.
The play areas are cleaned and sanitized regularly throughout the day, to prevent the spread of germs and make sure that all surfaces are safe for kids to play on. The staff uses a combination of high quality cleaning solutions and sanitizers to keep the areas clean and germ free. They especially pay close attention to areas that are frequently touched, like handrails, slides and other equipment.
Besides regular cleaning, Dollywood also has routine maintenance checks on all its interactive play areas. This includes checking the equipment for any signs of wear and tear and making repairs if needed. The staff inspects the play areas regularly to make sure that they are in good condition and free of any hazards. For example, They check the equipment’s stability and make sure that it is firmly attached to the ground. To make sure there are no sharp edges or other potential dangers, they also check the play area surfaces like the rubber mats.
Another way they maintain the interactive play areas is by monitoring how kids play in them. Dollywood staff keep an eye on the play areas during busy times to make sure that kids are playing safely and following the rules. If a child is playing too rough or breaking any rules, the staff will let you know, to make sure there are no accidents or injuries.
They have also installed safety signs around the play areas to remind kids and their parents of the rules. If there is an accident or someone gets hurt, they have a system for reporting any incidents that happen in the play areas. This helps the staff to respond quickly to any issues that may happen.
Dollywood is know for its kid friendly zones, playgrounds and activities that are great for the little explorers in the family. These areas are made for kiddos to play and have fun, while also giving you a chance to relax for a little bit. Have fun and make awesome memories together!.
