What Do You Mean By An Inclusive Playground?


An inclusive playground is a type of playground designed to accommodate children of all abilities, including those with disabilities or special needs. The main goal of an inclusive playground is to create an environment where children of different physical, sensory, and cognitive abilities can play together, fostering inclusivity, social interaction, and a sense of belonging. Inclusive playgrounds typically feature accessible play equipment and structures that allow children with mobility challenges to navigate and participate in activities. These may include wheelchair-accessible ramps, ground-level play features, adaptive swings, sensory play elements, and inclusive seating areas.

What is A Community Build Playground Installation?

A community-build play area refers to a playground that is built by individuals from the community, typically volunteers who have a personal stake and desire to enhance the community. The American Playground & Recreation company will supply the playground materials specifically for the structure itself, while the customer will be responsible for providing additional materials and tools like concrete, shovels, excavators, wheelbarrows, and more. If you require a comprehensive list of everything necessary, please contact one of our specialists who can send you an official guide to facilitate the process.

What is The Purpose of a Playground Screening?

Playground screenings - which can also be called playground fencing - can help protect kids and safeguard playground owners in terms of premises liability. Most state laws stipulate children cannot be expected to fully comprehend dangers where they play—therefore, property managers are responsible for taking extra measures to protect them. Installing a screening around your playground helps contain children and keeps out harmful entities such as abductors and stray animals.
