    Ontario Outdoor Play area requirements

    I am planning on opening a registered daycare at a zoned commercial location and have a question regarding outdoor play area.

    As per Ontario Playground Requirements:
    "Programs operating six or more hours in a day require outdoor
    play space equivalent to 5.6 square metres (60 square feet) per
    child, based on licensed capacity.

    If used by children 44 months of age and up to an including 67
    month of age as of August 31 of the year (children eligible to
    attend junior and senior kindergarten), the playground is fenced to
    a minimum height of 1.2 metres"

    I want to know how its possible to get a fenced play area in a commercial zone, I have seen other daycares operating where I live with no fenced play area. Is there a way around this regulation? Really appreciate any feed back.
