Accessibility & Inclusive Design Elements

Safe and engaging outdoor play is beneficial for ALL children. An accessible playground with features attuned to students’ various physical, cognitive and social-emotional needs will be an asset to the entire community. The new design includes:

Paths and ground surfaces that will be safely navigable for students of various physical, cognitive, and visual abilities
Specialized equipment that is both accessible to children who use wheelchairs and other mobility supports and appealing to all students to encourage inclusive play
Opportunities for students to get sensory input from activities like hanging, swinging, spinning, and playing with natural materials, which is especially important for those with sensory challenges
Quieter, tucked-away spaces for students who thrive in smaller groups or simply enjoy getting lost in their exploration of nature or imaginative games
