Many cities are required to use only what has been approved for continous exposure around people that use the surface, so in this case the kids. When the lead paint issue came up many years back, thousand of playgrounds here had to be redone with a "safer" paint.

Since kids will be crawling around on this in places that you would not even imagine, extra special care to sanding will be needed. One splinter and they may come after you.
