Under what condition may Seesaw Use Zones overlap with neighboring equipment?

  1. If there is a minimum of 6 feet between equipment for adjacent play surfaces no more than 30 inches

  2. If there is a minimum of 9 feet between equipment for adjacent play surfaces no more than 30 inches

  3. If there are safety nets

  4. Always

The correct answer is: If there is a minimum of 6 feet between equipment for adjacent play surfaces no more than 30 inches

Seesaw Use Zones may overlap with neighboring equipment if there is a minimum of 6 feet between the equipment and the adjacent play surfaces are no more than 30 inches. This is the appropriate distance to ensure children's safety while playing on different equipment. Option B is incorrect because it states 9 feet, which is a greater distance than the recommended 6 feet. Option C is incorrect because safety nets alone do not guarantee safe overlapping of equipment. Option D is incorrect because overlapping of equipment is only deemed safe when the specific distance and play surface criteria are met.
