WHAT IS AN INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND?
A playground specifically designed to remove physical and
social barriers so ALL children, with and without disabilities and/or critical illnesses, can play side by side with their peers and families.
WHY ARE INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUNDS MORE COSTLY?
Space requirements for ramping; specialized surfacing (not
loose-filled) those using walkers or wheelchairs; interactive technology for those with hearing and visual impairments; specialized seating on swings allowing support for those with low muscle tone; all push up the cost for these specialized playgrounds. Surfacing alone can cost $150,000 or more. The higher cost of means many local governments often can't afford them and build playgrounds that, while ADA compliant, exclude a large segment of people.
PLAYGROUNDS MATTER
Play is a critical part of the
social, emotional, cognitive & physical development of every child. Unfortunately, the majority of playgrounds deny children with disabilities the opportunity for exercise, entertainment, and social interactions with their peers.
