2025 Goals - Review Playgrounds for Accessibility


My son was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy nearly 3 years ago and in recent times, I've begun to notice that most public playgrounds are highly inaccessible for people who use mobility aids.

The goal for 2025 is to review playgrounds for accessibility usingthe following five criteria:

  1. Are all areas of the park/playground accessible using a mobility aid?
  2. Is all play equipment accessible using a mobility aid?
  3. Is there accessible carparking close by?
  4. Are there accessible toilets nearby?
  5. What other amenities are there (BBQ, shelter, table/chairs, etc...)?

If you've got any ideas of what else we could be assessing, please let me know.

Hopefully we'll be able to convince some councils to make their playgrounds accessible for everyone.
