The Capilano playground is 11 years old, with the average life span of a playground about 15 years.  Generally the equipment is in good condition and it is inspected on a regular basis by the City of Edmonton Parks Operation staff.  However, concern has been raised about the safety of certain equipment in the Capilano Playground including the diggers and hollow teeter- totter.  While they were within safety guidelines when installed, they are currently below standard.
