In response to the newly released CPSC Playground Safety Guidelines 2025, Golden Times (Wenzhou Golden Times Amusement Toys CO., LTD.) today announced the launch of a new generation of safety-enhanced playground equipment and an expanded North American market strategy designed to help communities, schools, and developers meet the latest U.S. safety expectations.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s July 2025 update marks the first major revision of its Playground Safety Handbook since 2010. With stronger alignment to ASTM F1487-25, enhanced surfacing guidance, and clearer definitions of hazard areas, the new guidelines are already reshaping how playgrounds are designed, installed, and maintained. Golden Times’ latest product portfolio directly addresses these changes, positioning the company as a proactive partner for playground safety compliance.
Responding to Higher Safety Expectations
Golden Times’ newly launched product line focuses on composite playground structures, improved fall-height management, and impact-attenuating surfacing compatibility, reflecting the most critical updates in the 2025 CPSC guidelines.
“Our new designs were developed with the updated CPSC framework in mind from day one,” said a Golden Times product development manager. “The goal is not only compliance, but confidence—confidence for purchasing managers, inspectors, and parents alike.”
Key design upgrades include:
-
Optimized equipment layouts that evaluate composite structures as a whole, as recommended in the 2025 guidelines
-
Tube slides and enclosed components engineered to reduce entrapment and visibility risks
-
Clearer transitions between play elements to minimize projections and protrusions
These improvements support safer play experiences while simplifying inspection and approval processes for U.S. buyers.
Surfacing-Ready Designs for Safer Falls
One of the most significant updates in the CPSC Playground Safety Guidelines 2025 is the expanded guidance on playground surfacing. Golden Times has aligned its new products with both loose-fill and engineered surfacing systems, ensuring compatibility with materials that meet current impact attenuation requirements.
The company’s equipment specifications now include recommended surfacing depths, maintenance considerations, and replacement guidance, helping playground owners reduce fall-related injuries and long-term maintenance risks.
“Surfacing is no longer an afterthought,” noted a Golden Times safety consultant. “By designing equipment that works hand-in-hand with compliant surfacing systems, we help clients create safer environments from installation through years of use.”
Fencing, Layout, and Supervision-Aware Planning
The revised 2025 Handbook places stronger emphasis on fencing, gates, and active supervision, especially for playgrounds near traffic, water, or elevation changes. In response, Golden Times has expanded its site-planning support services as part of its market strategy.
For schools, parks, and community developers, the company now offers:
-
Playground layout recommendations that improve sightlines for active supervision
-
Equipment placement strategies that support fencing and controlled access points
-
Design consultation to reduce climbing footholds near perimeter barriers
This approach reflects a broader shift in the industry: safety is no longer just about equipment, but about how the entire play environment functions.
A Strategic Push into Compliance-Driven Markets
Founded in 2003, Golden Times has built a global reputation for designing and manufacturing outdoor playgrounds, indoor playground systems, outdoor fitness equipment, and children’s toys. The 2025 CPSC update has accelerated the company’s expansion in compliance-focused markets, particularly the United States and Canada.
Target clients for this new strategy include:
-
Playground equipment wholesalers and distributors
-
Kindergarten and preschool purchasing managers
-
School facilities management departments
-
Community and property developers
-
Parks and municipal construction departments
-
Theme parks and family entertainment venues
By aligning product development with the latest U.S. safety guidelines, Golden Times aims to reduce regulatory uncertainty for buyers and shorten procurement cycles.
Built for Long-Term Maintenance and Inspection
Regular maintenance and inspection are strongly emphasized in the updated CPSC guidance. Golden Times’ new product series incorporates maintenance-friendly materials, modular components, and clearer inspection access points, supporting periodic checks by qualified personnel.
Each new installation is designed to facilitate initial inspections and ongoing assessments, helping operators identify wear, surfacing issues, or component fatigue before they become hazards.
Setting a New Benchmark for Playground Safety
With this launch, Golden Times signals a clear message to the global playground industry: safety standards are evolving, and manufacturers must evolve with them. By integrating the CPSC Playground Safety Guidelines 2025 and ASTM F1487-25 into both product design and market strategy, the company is positioning itself as a long-term partner for safer, more sustainable play spaces.
As communities continue to invest in child-friendly infrastructure, Golden Times’ safety-first approach offers a timely solution—one that balances creativity, durability, and compliance in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
