Inclusive play spaces

Many Australian play spaces don’t meet the needs of their communities.

Physical disabilities, coupled with childhood disorders, and the ever-changing demographic of stay at home carers, means that every detail needs to be considered for a space to be truly inclusive. It means designing and creating custom made, accessible and intergenerational play equipment and amenities, incorporating accessible pathways, passive areas, sensory and tactile play and artworks, graduated challenges, points of recognition and visual cues, fencing, accessible parking and bus drop off zones.

The 6 principles of inclusive play are:

  4. A connection to community
  5. Play independence
  6. Friendship
