How We’re Shaping Safer Playgrounds in Southeast Asia

Playgrounds across Southeast Asia have long been a source of concern for safety. From worn-out equipment to poorly maintained surfaces, playgrounds are often neglected due to lack of funding, clear responsibility, or adequate standards. At Ezra & Macquarie, we have been working diligently across the region to change that.

Our playground safety initiatives, particularly in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, focus on conducting comprehensive safety audits that assess all aspects of playground design and maintenance. Our work has revealed alarming statistics, including that over 75% of playgrounds in public parks are in poor condition, with safety hazards such as broken equipment and rusty surfaces. This not only poses risks for children but also affects community trust in public infrastructure.

Our team of experts ensures that playgrounds comply with local and international safety standards such as MS966 and MS2665. We work closely with local authorities to design strategic solutions for upgrades, repairs, and regular maintenance schedules. In addition, we champion community engagement through public awareness campaigns to foster a sense of shared responsibility for maintaining these vital spaces.

Our goal is clear: to create safer, more enjoyable playgrounds for children throughout Southeast Asia. By providing expertise in risk management, safety compliance, and maintenance, Ezra & Macquarie are shaping the future of playground safety in the region.
