Can broken or older ground level play components be replaced without changing the surface?
Yes. Section 15.6.1 Exception 3 permits broken or older play components to be replaced without requiring changes to the play surface. Changes to the surface are only required when the existing play surface is being replaced or when “path of travel” obligations are triggered. See question 14 for more on “path of travel”.
