An Inclusive Park Playground
Central Park in Dartford lives up to the city’s mission of having an outdoor play area that appeals to all children, including children with various disabilities. Jeremy Kite MBE, leader of Dartford Borough Council’s, says:
"Our playground in Central Park was worn down. The aim was to establish a new play environment with a distinctive, immersive playground that would benefit the borough’s children for years to come."
"The themed equipment encourages imaginative play, which is commonly popular with young children as well as many children with learning disabilities, who often show the play behaviours of younger children"
- Jeremy A Kite MBE, Councillor
Stimulating, Thrilling, and Challenging Play for All
The council selected inclusive play equipment to complement key themed elements, including pirate ships, whales, and light towers, to provide stimulating, thrilling, and challenging activities for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
Equipment like the Triple Tower with Ramps and Universal Carousel ensure children with mobility devices are included in on the fun, while themed equipment encourages imaginative play, which is popular with younger children as well as many children with learning disabilities.
This playground is ideal for children who prefer to play individually or in groups. A calm zone was also established with sensory play equipment to cater to children with neurodiverse challenges, allowing them to take a break when the playground becomes overwhelming.
