Everyone Can Have Fun

Who could forget running around the playground when you were a child? From the monkey bars to the slide and seeing who could swing the highest. We can all remember what it was like. All the energy we burned and the friends we made. Playing helps teach children how to interact with one another, create friendships and navigate relationships, however, children whose disabilities keep them from using playgrounds and those opportunities can be lost.

There are new federal requirements (Americans with Disabilities Act) which are changing playground access. Public playgrounds are required to incorporate material and designs that offer children with disabilities the same play opportunities as the average children.

With the help of parents, communities and local government, new playgrounds are being redesigned so that every child can have the opportunity to make a friend.

I Want to Ride the Bulldozer

I'm sitting in my bulldozer moving some dirt around, just thinking to myself, “Man do I have a lot of dirt to move, better get to work.” Vroom. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. Chuga Chuga Chuga. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. Then I hear a voice “Richard! Time to go!” I yell back “BUUUTTTT MOM! I'm WORKING!” Mom says “You can come tomorrow and move more dirt.” I sigh “Ok”. I get out of my bulldozer and head home with my mother.

Imagination like that can be nurture at the playground. Perhaps your children will grow up to be a construction worker, or a fire fighter, or a race car driver, or even a pilot.

The Layout of a Playground can be Important!

Playground planning that is frequently overlooked, but essential to how parents choose play spaces. For families who will be visiting the playground with numerous children, to be able to monitor all children from a single vantage point is essential. Thoughtfully placed, age appropriate elements will also be key to a layout. It would not make sense to put a climbing wall surface where a mature child could jump from and get close to a spot designed for younger children, which could cause injury. Producing specific areas for younger and older children alike helps to keep security risks to a minimum, and parents are happy once you understand each of their children have their area to enjoy.
