Is the surface under the equipment safe and resilient; are there proper drainage, water and power facilities? Are there any trees, fences, sidewalks or drains that may obstruct or may be obstructed because of the playground equipment? and so on.

Be sure there are no objects protruding or ropes dangling that may cause strangulation or cause the child to trip or fall.
