Inclusive Playgrounds
Inclusive playgrounds provide a large variety of play. The goal is to have activities for all senses grouped by skill level.
- Auditory: i.e. musical instruments, talking tubes
- Proprioceptive: i.e. climbing products, sand
- Tactile: i.e. climbing rocks, sand
- Vestibular: i.e. spinners, swings, balance
- Visual: colored panels, telescopes, etc.
These areas should also balance different environments of play.
- Cooperative
- Solitary
- Onlooker
- Parallel
- Associate
There should be ground level play for children requiring wheelchairs or otherwise physically impaired.
