17. Outdoor Play Area/Fencing CCF Handbook, Section 3.5 (17-05)
The facilitys outdoor play space was not enclosed with fencing or walls a minimum of 4 feet in height. CCF Handbook, Section 3.5, F Comments: During the time of the inspection, the Licensing Specialist observed the gate on the outdoor play area to be 3'5 1/2" on the sides where it is the shortest. During the time of the inspection, the Licensing Specialist observed a portion of the green barrier wall around the back of the outdoor play area to be 3'8". During the time of the inspection, the Licensing Specialist provided technical assistance: per the CCF Handbook "F. The outdoor play area must have adequate fencing or walls a minimum of 4 feet in height.

If an outdoor play area was approved for usage by the Department prior to October 25, 2017, no new exits are required to be added to meet this standard. However, if outdoor play area fencing is changed then the standard would apply, and two exits must be provided." Source: FL DCF CARES inspection 2024-12-17.
