What is a Barrier Free Playground? Barrier–free
playgrounds are specially designed so that all children, no matter what ability level, can play together. There
are multiple components that encourage self- directed play. Ramps and wider aisles allow for walkers and
wheelchairs to have access at many entry/exit points. Sensory areas allow children to experience learning
through plants and objects (many times musical) to play with. Larger areas for group play as well as smaller
“hideaways” are available for individual exploration. They are welcoming places where all children can have fun!
As you can see by the draft sketch of the 5-12 year old playscape area, while unique, these playgrounds have all of the common
elements one would expect to see at a playground.
