Inclusive & Accessible Playground Equipment

Inclusive playground equipment is designed not only to be accessible for users with mobility disabilities, such as wheelchair users but also to be universally usable. This means that equipment should be able to be used by as many people as possible, both with and without disabilities, who want to play on the playground.

Looking for inclusive playground equipment? You'll find a wide selection of equipment that is suitable for everyone. Some equipment can be used independently, like the Universal Carousel. Other equipment has been explicitly designed to assist users with mobility disabilities. However, the ramped slides, Tipi Carousel, or Inclusive Net Twister can be used independently once assisted. Some equipment is primarily designed for ground-level use, like playhouses and ships. Whatever your needs, we've got you covered!

Choose sensory playground features and ground-level play options

Inclusive playgrounds are designed to engage all children, regardless of their sensory processing abilities. They serve as a sensory-rich oasis where children can play, learn, and grow. These playgrounds feature interactive panels and textured pathways that stimulate tactile and visual senses, promoting cognitive development. They are essential components of a sensory playground designed for inclusivity.

When designing a playground, it's important to include ground-level options that don't create barriers to participation. This way, children of all abilities can have unrestricted access to play experiences. For wheelchair users and those with mobility challenges, this inclusivity is especially meaningful. Many inclusive playground structures offer accessible ground-level features such as sensory domes and play towers with sensory play panels that can be enjoyed by everyone.You can learn more about inclusive playground design here.

Wheelchair Accessible Playground Equipment

Inclusive playgrounds should allow easy access for wheelchairs and assistive devices by ensuring equipment is level with surrounding surfaces and allowing easy movement onto and across features.

Play environments that are wheelchair-friendly should have ramps and wide decks as they remove physical barriers and allow children of all mobility levels to play together. Below, you will find a list of play structures, including ramps and climbing playground equipment with sensory ground-level elements.
