The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is beginning an initiative to make playgrounds more inclusive. We are creating new guidelines for designing inclusive playgrounds across the city. These guidelines will also help us plan an inclusive destination playground at Memorial South Park.

Check out our info sheet to learn more (PDF, 102 MB).

Get involved!

We want to hear your thoughts and experiences with playgrounds.

Tell us what “inclusive play” means to you, and what makes playgrounds easier or harder for people to use.

  • Take our online survey by May 26, 2026
  • To share your input in a language of your choosing, call 3-1-1 by May 26, 2026. A Customer Service agent will connect you to an interpreter to help you complete the survey.
  • Visit us at South Vancouver Neighbourhood House’s Centennial Celebration in Memorial South Park. We’ll be there on Sunday May 24, 2026 from 11 am to 1 pm.
  • Join the mailing list to receive project updates (sign-up form on right-hand side of this page).

The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation acknowledges, with respect, that our parks are located on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.

    The Inclusive Play Design Guidelines will help us make playgrounds easy to access, safe to use, and welcoming for everyone. To develop the guidelines, we are:

    • Getting input from the community,
    • Asking for advice from accessibility and play experts, and
    • Reviewing inclusivity best practices to learn what is working in other places.

    The 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.

    We are renewing the playground at Memorial South Park. The Park Board set a goal (PDF, 273 KB) of creating five inclusive destination playgrounds across Vancouver by 2040. Memorial South Park will be the first of these playgrounds. It will be the first place where we put the Inclusive Play Design Guidelines into practice.
