When adjacent play surfaces are more than 30 inches, there should be at least how many feet between equipment?

  1. 6 feet

  2. 7 feet

  3. 9 feet

  4. 10 feet

The correct answer is: 9 feet

While it may seem like a small difference, 30 inches is actually 2.5 feet. Therefore, having a minimum of 9 feet between equipment would allow for at least 3 feet of space on either side, providing enough room for children and adults to safely move around and play. Having less than 9 feet between surfaces can increase the risk of collisions and accidents.
