Does every element or piece of equipment on the playground need to be accessible?
A. A playground that is accessible and allows for integration is a playground that when viewed in its entirety provides similar opportunities for children of varying abilities. This does not mean that each and every feature of the play event has to be usable by every individual. It means that experiences must be available. For instance, if a playground offers play experiences such as swinging, sliding, and climbing, the same or similar experiences should be provided for all. The opportunity to participate in each play activity provides a quality play experience for each child.
