Play is the work of childhood.
Every child deserves a playground to do what a child does
best – play!
However kids with disabilities often don’t have the luxury
of enjoying time in the playground.
Imagine a place where both able bodied children and those
with disabilities could play together.
Those parks do exist (although there are not enough) where all
children can play happily and safely together, laughing and smiling, discovering
and learning, while their parents look on with utter delight.
Known as inclusive playgrounds, they are designed and
equipped in such a way as to allow children of all disabilities and special
needs, or those able bodied children to experience playtime.
Play equipment
Roundabouts can have wheelchair friendly spaces, or seats
for children to seat on as well as standing spaces for able bodied children.

Swings are adapted to put wheelchair users in or strap kids
safely in.
Wheel-through arcade, this is a spin on the more traditional
monkey bars. A wheelchair fits within the width of the arcade, and they can
pull themselves through.
Always accessible routes to equipment for the children to
easily access to enjoy their fun on the playground. There are often ramps put in place for wheelchair using children.
