This design guide helps developing playgrounds using the 7 Universal Design principles. It wants to provide basic concepts of inclusive play and inspire.

An inclusive playground addresses the needs of all people, including those with developmental disabilities such as autism, and individuals with intellectual, cognitive, sensory, physical, and other disabilities. They focus on changing the environment (rather than the person) while maximizing usability, for everyone, providing variety in challenges for personalized developmental growth.

To design an outdoor play environment that enriches a community, it is necessary to go beyond the guidelines of accessibility and consider new and innovative ideas.
