you need to cover it. If there are any cats in the area it will become a litterbox instead of a clean play area for your children. Otherwise it will be fine, just watch for spiders and the like setting up homes in it!
p.s. since this is a private sandbox, there is no need for the usual warnings about germs, warts, etc. Just be sure to change the sand every year!

The only unsanitry thing that I have seen sandboxes attract is cats who need to poop. I've got a 8 and a 5 year old and they have never gotten flea or tick bites from sandboxes.

I assume you mean the sort of sandbox for children to play in, and they are no more or less unsanitary than if they play in the yard. It is important to keep them covered when not in use however, or the local cats will add thier little presents and then there will be an unsanitary problem.

I have had a sandbox since i was a baby and nothing ever happened to me but you should covre it if there are cats around because it will become the litterbox.
