Accessible & inclusive playground equipment
Canadian parks and public spaces benefit from playground equipment designed for all children, including those with mobility challenges. Options range from universally accessible features like the Universal Carousel to equipment that supports assisted entry but encourages independent play, such as ramped slides and inclusive carousels. Ground-level activities, including playhouses and ship structures, ensure everyone can join the fun. Explore solutions tailored for communities across Canada.
Incorporate spinning & swinging elements
Swinging and spinning equipment are key fixtures at most playgrounds; however, they are especially important at an inclusive playground. These pieces provide children not only the thrill they want but the developmental progress they need.
Physically, the rotation of spinning equipment, like carousels and twisters, helps to develop the sense of balance and spatial awareness. Likewise, swinging trains balance and spatial awareness plus coordination. There are social and emotional benefits as well. When playing together, children must listen to one another and negotiate how fast or slow to go, developing empathy and cooperation skills.
Take a look at some of our inclusive spinning and swinging equipment below.
For children on the autism spectrum as well as for children with a range of physical disabilities or impairments, training the sense of balance helps their ability to function more independently.
Inclusive Carousels
These adaptive swing seats have various seating and lying options, alone or with friends and caregivers. Everybody cannot use every swing seat, but the vast majority can use at least one.

Inclusive inspiration from around the world
Our dedication to inclusivity knows no bounds. From right here in Canada to far across the pond in the UK, KOMPAN is bringing children of all abilities together, shaping minds and changing communities – one playground at a time.

Riverside Intermediate School, US
"It really facilitates making new friendships, building those relationships, and those kids who are a little slower to warm up, a little slower to get involved, and feel comfortable enough to reach out to other kids have a place they can go rather than sit and be isolated."
– Amy Samuelson, Parent-Teacher Organization

Creating equity in play
Everyone can’t do everything, but making sure everyone can do something is how we create equity. You can create equity within your play space by taking an inclusive approach. That means incorporating play equipment that is accessible, comfortable, and usable as well as stimulating, challenging, and thrilling. Doing so allows children with physical or cognitive disabilities to move their bodies, expand their minds, stimulate their senses, and of course have fun – just like any other kid!
When you choose playground equipment from KOMPAN, you can be sure you’re putting inclusivity at the forefront. All of our play equipment is developed through research from the experts at KOMPAN Play Institute. This thoroughness and dedication to inclusion is why children are engrossed in our play panels, sand tables, and sensory domes; excited by favourites like the basket swing and universal carousel; and comfortable enough on our play equipment to relax and reregulate. Whether they're looking to play individually, side-by-side with peers, get in the center of the action, or simply wanting to take a break, they'll have options with KOMPAN's inclusive playground equipment.
Looking to provide all children in your community equal access to play? Reach out today to get your project started.
