2nd, one of the questions that Matt and commissioner Bande answered me within within hours about was that my toddler was playing at one of our parks and I caught him about to lick his hand and he had it was full of paint.

It was just full of of paint from the play equipment.

So the question is how often is the play equipment inspected for peeling paint?

I believe, but it's very concerning to see that.
