LAND FUN
Playgrounds For All
Every child deserves the opportunity to be physically and socially included.
This fundamental belief is the foundation of inclusive playground design.
We are committed to creating play spaces that address the developmental
needs of the whole child.
We engage with experts in inclusive play to ensure our designs address the
physical, social-emotional, sensory, cognitive, and communication needs of all
children, including individuals with disabilities.
Here’s why inclusive play can benefit every child:
1
Relationship Building
When children of all ages and abilities can play together in the
same space or close proximity, they can naturally connect and
form friendships.
2
Addresses Needs of the "Whole Child"
Inclusively-designed playgrounds don't exclusively promote
physical well-being. They also serve children's socialemotional, sensory, cognitive, and communication needs.
3
Eliminates Physical & Social Barriers
Not everyone has the same physical, cognitive, or social
abilities. Inclusive design helps reduce obstacles to
participation on the playground by providing spaces and
equipment that are fun and engaging for every child.
4
High Return on Investment
Because inclusive playgrounds have fun spaces for all ages
and abilities, children and families actually use them! When
investing valuable time and money into designing and building
a new playground, you want a playground that everyone loves.
