Inclusive Playground Design project goals
Share Inclusive Playground Design project goals on Facebook Share Inclusive Playground Design project goals on Twitter Share Inclusive Playground Design project goals on Linkedin Email Inclusive Playground Design project goals linkThe goals of this work include:
- Building inclusive, accessible playgrounds. We want playgrounds to be safe, welcoming, and easy for everyone to use. All children should be able to take part in active play and spend time with others.
- Helping people connect. We aim to make spaces where kids, caregivers, and community members can meet, talk, and spend time together.
- Offering different kinds of play. Playgrounds should offer a mix of activities with different levels of challenge. This helps children with different needs take part in ways that feel right for them.
- Going beyond basic requirements. We want playgrounds that reflect the diversity of the people who use them. This means thinking about sensory, emotional, cultural, and physical needs, along with accessibility.
This work supports the Park Board’s goals to improve inclusive play in Vancouver. It aligns with the City of Vancouver Accessibility Strategy (2025), VanPlay (2020), the 2024 motion for an Inclusive and Accessible Sensory Park (PDF, 1383 KB) and other Park Board directions to create inclusive and accessible playgrounds.
