Download our material Play for all

Every child has the right to leisure and play. Regardless of their age, nationality, gender, skin colour, social and religious background, physical and intellectual abilities children have the right to play and to play with others. This is backed by the United Nations' Convention of the Right of the Child - the most widely  signed UN convention ever.

A guideline to universal playgrounds

This material will provide an overview of useful principles for planning and designing play areas for all, for choosing relevant products and ensuring accessibility to the playground and the play equipment. KOMPAN has developed these principles on the basis of a long history of designing for all. This approach made KOMPAN the primary provider to the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board in developing The Americans with Disabilities' Act Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas. Read more about universal play, inclusion and accessibility on http://www.kompan.com.au/ on the KOMPAN Play Institute pages.

It is the hope that the material will help and assist in planning relevant and pleasing play areas for everybody, universally.

Enjoy!
