We Comply With ADA Standards

ADA standards addressed routes, surfacing, ramps, access and transfer spaces, ground level activities and more. The US Department of Justice is serious about ensuring that public playgrounds are accessible for all children. Childforms want to help you ensure your playground is compliant. Contact us to discuss a plan to bring your playground into compliance with the new ADA playground standards. Visit ada.gov to read the full text of the ADA guidelines on accessibility. The purpose of this ADA site is to raise awareness and provide education about some considerations to promote ADA compliance. It should not be considered all-encompassing. We encourage you to read the Standards and seek additional information if necessary. Please refer to manufacturer specifications and safety warnings and continue to provide normal safety inspections. Safety goes beyond these comments, requires common sense, and is specific to the playground involved.

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.
