Inclusive & Accessible Playground Equipment

Inclusive playground equipment is designed to be universally usable, ensuring accessibility for users with and without mobility disabilities, including wheelchair users. The goal is for as many people as possible to enjoy the playground.

Explore a wide selection of inclusive playground equipment. Some items, like the Universal Carousel, can be accessed and used independently. Others, such as ramped slides, the Tipi Carousel, or the Inclusive Net Twister, are designed for users with mobility disabilities to receive assistance initially but then play independently.

Choosing sensory playground features and ground-level play options

Inclusive playgrounds serve as sensory-rich oases, designed to engage all children regardless of their sensory processing abilities. Interactive panels and textured pathways stimulate tactile and visual senses, promoting cognitive development. These features are key components of sensory playgrounds designed for inclusivity.

Ground-level play options are crucial in formulating inclusive playground equipment. They eliminate participation barriers, allowing children of all abilities, especially wheelchair users and those with mobility challenges, to enjoy unrestricted play experiences. Many inclusive playground structures incorporate accessible ground-level features, such as sensory domes or play towers with sensory play panels placed for everyone to enjoy.

Wheelchair Accessible Playground Equipment

Inclusive playgrounds should always facilitate easy mobility, ensuring wheelchairs and assistive devices can approach, enter, and engage with all play areas independently. This requires equipment that is level with surrounding surfaces, allowing seamless movement onto and across features.

Ramps and wide decks are essential components for creating wheelchair-friendly play environments, enabling children of all mobility levels to explore alongside their peers without encountering physical barriers. Below, you will find a selection of play structures featuring ramps, as well as climbing playground equipment with sensory ground-level elements.
