How do you design an ADA-compliant inclusive playground?

To meet ADA compliance (along with EN1176 and CSA standards), playgrounds must include:
60-inch-wide accessible routes for circulation
Gentle slopes (≤1:16) with handrails
Transfer stations on at least 50% of elevated structures
Safety surfacing (like poured-in-place rubber or rubber tiles) to reduce injury from falls
Enough clear floor space, turning radius, and reach range for wheelchair maneuvering
Visual contrast and non-slip surfaces for extra safety
These features make the playground safe, usable, and welcoming for everyone.
