Inclusive Playground!
When we undertook to redevelop the playground, one of the key objectives was to try and make the playground as inclusive as possible within the limited budget and space we had. We chose equipment with this in mind and in total there are 8 activities (9 if you include the nest swing) that are accessible to those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. While some other playgrounds include a piece of accessible equipment such as a wheelchair swing these are often “inaccessible” because you need a special key to unlock it. They are also separated from other children and do not promote the inclusive aspect where the user can enjoy the activity alongside their friends. In Milltown we have chosen our equipment carefully to try and address this🙂. Details of each activity above in the pictures. Please share with those who may have children with special needs or in wheelchairs.
