CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) - The University of North Iowa is marking National Playground Safety Week.
The week runs from Monday through Friday. The university in Cedar Falls is home to the National Program for Playground Safety and officials at the school say this coming week is a good time to "pay attention to the safety of all children on the playground."
Donna Thompson is director of the national program at UNI and she says it's also a good time to "pledge to use good judgment" while playing and honor those who maintain playgrounds.
The group also offers online training. Subjects include playground supervision and playground maintenance.
