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.
