A joint initiative of the Rick Hansen Foundation and the Province of British Columbia, Let s Play offers grants for the creation of accessible public play spaces and builds awareness about accessible play and related best practices. Let s Play links directly with the Rick Hansen Foundation s Schools In Motion and Wheels In Motion programs to make a difference in communities throughout British Columbia. The Rick Hansen Schools In Motion program was developed to celebrate the spirit of the Rick Hansen Man In Motion World Tour and provide students with the understanding that they can play a role in improving access and inclusion in the world around them. To learn more about the Schools In Motion program, visit Let s Play was made possible with the support of the Province of British Columbia and its $2.5 million investment. Accessible play spaces complement ActNow BC, the Province s health and wellness initiative that promotes healthy living choices to improve the quality of life for all British Columbians. ActNow BC aims to encourage all BC kids to increase their physical activity levels. ActNow BC: every move is a good move. For more information on ActNow BC, visit
3 Planning an Accessible Play Space Accessible play spaces welcome children and caregivers with disabilities in, rather than leaving them on the sidelines. They provide a variety of play opportunities for children of all abilities and emphasize shared play. When planning an accessible play space, consider both natural and manufactured play elements. Develop a space that engages children with their natural surroundings. Creative features that stimulate the senses, such as water and sand play areas, scent gardens, wind chimes and winding pathways, are particularly effective at fostering inclusive play. They are also very inviting to younger children, who play and learn with all ve senses. Other things to consider as you develop your plan: Moving Around It s important to think about how people move into, out of and through the space and how it can be made accessible to children and caregivers with physical disabilities. Pathways between playground equipment and seating areas should be wide enough for a wheelchair or scooter (at least 1.5 m) and surfaced in an accessible material. They should be as level as possible, with slopes of no more than ve percent. Surfacing under play equipment must meet CSA Accessibility Guidelines. Sidewalks leading into the play space must have curb cuts (dropped curbs) from the road. Play Features Focus on accessible play features that invite children to play together in a variety of ways and that give children with disabilities access to the high-interest areas where children gather. Look for features that provide imaginative and open-ended play opportunities.
4 Examples of Good Accessible Design Interesting and accessible circulation Using grade change instead of ramps Easy access to play equipment Spookyot Interplay Design Accessible surface for integrated sand play Accessible amenities Easy site circulation Accessible slides Accessible play surface, places to explore Sound feature Texture and details Accessible water feature Accessible play equipment Accessible ground/social play equipment
5 Project Planning Tips You don t need to be an expert to lead an accessible play space project, but good planning is essential. Use the project checklist on this page to help keep things on track. Project Planning Checklist Getting Started Determine the speci c needs of your site Consult with stakeholders, including families of children with disabilities, disability resource groups, and groups that will be using the play space Develop ways to communicate with and involve the community Inform yourself about the need for permits for construction/renovation, school board policies and standards Research additional funding opportunities in cooperation with school and/or community partners Playground Design Develop playspace design with community input Consider consultation with a design professional to ensure the development of a unique and accessible playspace Research playground supply and design professionals by gathering and reviewing catalogues, websites, etc. Create a preliminary labour and materials budget (e.g. surfacing, borders, etc.) Playground Equipment Ensure equipment meets CSA Standards and Annex H Verify that equipment includes a satisfactory warranty for quality and durability of each type of material and for parts, service, and other maintenance Surfacing Materials Ensure that play surfacing meets CSA standards for equipment and layout Check that surfacing satis es this project s speci c needs for accessibility, safety, cost and maintenance Site Design Considerations: Parking area nearby (if applicable) that includes designated parking spaces for people with disabilities Pathways and alternate routes that connect the play area to the surrounding area should be made accessible if not already Ongoing Considerations Ensure that an adequate schedule for inspections and maintenance be developed
6 Consulting with Play Space Users Consultation is key to ensure your play space is well used and enjoyed. Consult with disability organizations, and children and caregivers with disabilities in your community as you develop your plan. Organizing a Workshop to Consult with Play Space Users Holding a hands-on workshop with children and caregivers who will be using your play space is a great way to gather creative ideas and design a space that is responsive to the needs and interests of its users. Here are some ideas on holding a workshop with play space users including children and caregivers: Gather images of playspaces to spark discussion and interest. If the group is large, break into smaller groups. Encourage the children and adults to design a model play space with materials you provide such as playdough, modelling clay, paper, markers, and pens. Ask each group to present their designs to the larger group. Give the workshop participants an opportunity to vote on their favourite design elements. The creative and innovative elements designed by the children often inspire groups to create a unique play space that goes beyond standard models. Here are some examples from a children s workshop (All images from Space2Place Garden City Park Consultation Processs, City of Richmond)
7 Consulting with a Play Space Designer Involving a designer with a background in landscape architecture/playground design in the design stage of your project can have a major impact on the quality and accessibility of the play space. The cost doesn t have to be prohibitive as you ll read below. What services can a designer provide to my playspace? A designer can: contribute creative ideas pull together design ideas as well as identify site issues and challenges lead a visioning process with community members and playspace users determine feasibility of the nal vision lead the process of choosing appropriate equipment and site features and work with a play equipment supplier to con gure equipment prepare a budget and outline construction requirements coordinate construction and trades people coordinate volunteer labour How much will this cost? Cost will vary depending on the extent of involvement of the designer and his or her level of experience. A quick consultation for help with a site plan may only cost a few hundred dollars of the designer s time, but may help you to develop a really unique playspace within a modest budget.

8 Designing a Play Space for Children ages 0-6 When creating a play environment for children, it s important to consider the age range of children who will be using the site and design it around their physical, psychological and learning needs. As the focus of Let s Play is on children ages 0-6, the following list may help you think about how your play space will meet the needs of children in this age range. Infants 4-12 months: Babies in this age range are gaining greater ability to use their bodies and manipulate the environment provide materials and textures for the infant to feel and manipulate include places to bounce, observe, and shady places to lie under provide auditory environments with sounds for infants to locate create areas for hide and seek for infants developing awareness of object permanence Shira Infants 8-12 months: At this age, babies are getting ready for walking/ talking. They are more social and like to manipulate objects. create areas close to caregiver for learning to sit, crawl, stand and explore provide materials to ll up and empty create areas for hide and seek Toddlers months: Children at this stage are full of energy, enthusiasm and curiosity. They need to be able to move about on their own and explore and test their surroundings. provide paths for children to stop frequently to look at rocks, plants or insects include areas for water play create low places for climbing over, under and on top 2 Years Old provide areas to explore and discover provide manipulative materials, paths for riding toys as well as balancing activities Pre-schooler (3-5 Years) provide objects to collect, rocks, leaves and seed pods design areas to move through and explore provide water play highlight changing seasons, with plant material and other features include features for developing motor skills, places to climb and balance places for make believe play, places for groups, social places Primary school (6 Years Old) include places for co-operative play, working toward speci c goals create places for physical play, running, moving, climbing and throwing
9 Communicating with Equipment Suppliers What direction should I give a playground supplier when selecting equipment for the play space? Provide age range and number of children using site Describe your vision for the proposed play space. Discuss the elements you envision such as social and gathering spaces, a focus on creative play, a variety of play choices, and an inclusive environment that fosters shared play. Describe the site context -what is around the play area and how it will be used. Provide a site plan if possible. Provide your budget for equipment, keeping in mind costs for landscaping and natural features. Emphasize need to follow CSA/Annex H accessibility standards. Emphasize the equipment should t into the site plan, not vice versa. What questions should I ask a playground equipment supplier once I receive a proposed design? How does the play equipment area relate to the overall site? How does the equipment accommodate various interests and abilities? How does the play equipment foster inclusive play and allow for children with disabilities to be part of the action? What age group is this equipment suitable for? Does this equipment comply with CSA/Annex H standards and guidelines? How is this space unique? How is this fun? How is this accessible to parents/caregivers with disabilities? Example of a drawing from an equipment supplier showing proposed play equipment.
