Inclusive playgrounds

Inclusion involves bringing together different audiences in integrated and thoughtfully designed playgrounds. The design of an inclusive play area, regardless of its size, should allow children to have fun while moving freely and safely.

These playgrounds primarily provide the opportunity for children of various ages and abilities to play together, be active, develop, learn, become as independent as possible, make friends, and create social connections, without barriers related to disabilities.

That's why EXTEBOIS works alongside you to understand the needs of your children and offer you the most suitable solutions.

How to build your inclusive playground?

  • 1

    The layout surrounding the playground

    It is essential to consider accessibility for everybody to the playground. Think about parking spaces and toilets for disabled people. Make sure that the access paths are wide and accessible to wheelchairs (smooth ground and limited slopes).

  • 2

    Signage

    Notice boards play an important role in explaining the various structures that can be found on a playground. For the visually impaired, you can make a Braille transcription of your signs.

    Safety surfacing

    Flexible EPDM flooring

    Chip / sand / gravel bins

    Artificial turf with shock-absorbing underlays

    Grassed area

    The furniture

    It plays an important role in the inclusive playground as it is a meeting place for families. It is a place for sharing experiences but also a time for calm and rest. The height of the tables must allow accessibility to a wheelchair at the end of the table. (The seat of a wheelchair is 50cm high).

The higher floor heights make these structures more suitable for non-impaired or mildly impaired children. Access to the high towers is very safe for children with mild or intellectual disabilities. The play panels and the huts in the lower part are accessible to children with higher disabilities.

Tower height: 1.30m to 3.20m

THE VEHICLES

THE PLAY PANELS

They are diversified by their choice of plays (simple, multiplayer, learning colours, numbers, sounds, environment...). They can be used separately on a playground or included directly on a structure. Vertically, they are suitable for people with reduced mobility (legs can pass under the panel) or can be made in a sloping version.

OTHERS

The Tub'phone: it allows two children to talk to each other. A hearing-impaired person can even use it thanks to the sound amplification.
