disability friendly equipment in our playground.

That this Council investigate the use of more disability friendly equipment in our playground.



As a tourist and local community playground universal access by all is a must. Families require various facilities to make their recreational experience safe, enjoyable and comfortable. A sibling of any family should be able to partake in such activities in the same joyous manner inclusively if they have a disability or not. By levelling the play field and having equipment to suite all abilities, it create a community of youth that learns together, plays together and has a greater understanding and respect for each other. While some activities are adaptable, others need to be specific such as a “ liberty swing” for wheelchair users to sensory zones for others.
