Our Goal: To build a universally designed, sensory-rich play environment that enables children of all abilities to develop physically, socially, cognitively and emotionally together. A place where children can engage in just the right level of challenge, offering opportunities to succeed. A place that goes beyond minimum accessibility to create play experiences that meet a variety of needs and interests. At an inclusive playground, all children, regardless of ability can interact with each other and do what all kids want to do: play.

A few ideas to consider: dress down day, bingo, bowling tournament, funniest photo contest, silent auction, treasure hunt, etc.

A truly Inclusive Playground is more than just accessible. It is an environment that facilitates parallel play in which children of all abilities play side-by-side, engaging with each other, and laying the groundwork for more complex social stages of play. Socialization is a natural part of play that carries over into all facets of the community between all abilities and ages.
