What is the correct funding source (APF or NAF) for the purchase and maintenance of playground equipment outside Family Housing Areas?
Playgrounds built in conjunction with Family Housing Areas should be normally maintained and repaired by Family Housing with their APF. They should budget for and control funding and maintenance. If a Commander decides that he would prefer to have MCCS run the playgrounds, they should be maintained with APF. Playgrounds and their related equipment are Category A MWR activities as defined by Enclosure (4) of DoDI 1015.10. As such, they are authorized 100% APF support for procurement and installation of playground equipment as well as maintenance and upkeep for the subject grounds and equipment per Enclosure (6) of the same reference.
