Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) Practice Exam

What is a Transition Point?

1. Point of entry to the playground

2. Point where child moves from swings to slides

3. Point where child must transition from access component to play structure platform

4. Top of the slide

The correct answer is: Point where child must transition from access component to play structure platform

A transition point in playground terminology refers to the point where a child is required to move from one play component to another. This could mean moving from the swings to the slides, or from a lower level access component to the platform of a play structure. Option A is incorrect because it only references one specific type of play component and does not cover all possible transition points. Option B is incorrect because it only mentions one specific type of transition point and does not cover all possible play components. Option D is incorrect because it only identifies a point on the play structure, not necessarily a transition point. The correct answer, C, includes both the idea of a child moving to a new play component and the requirement to transition from one type of component to another.
