Abstract: 
The safety of children should be the number one priority in recreational facilities to ensure a safe and secure playing and growing environment. This paper discusses detailed safety practices and strategies to prevent injuries specifically tailored for recreational facilities catering to children. It emphasizes a multifaceted approach at different levels such as friendly space design, rigorous training of the staff, adequate supervision, and integrating technology for real-time monitoring. Moreover, it stresses the regularity of risk assessments, compliance, and parental engagement as important factors. With these measures in place, RFCs can reduce the potential risks of injury and promote the well-being of children. Besides, strengthening self-improvement with best practice is seen as a key to a safe and enabling environment for children to prosper.
