I designed this inclusive playground for Waalwijk while working for Speelplan. It follows the 100-70-50 norm that’s prescribed by Samenspeelnetwerk for inclusive design.

Inclusive playground design
I’ve added a new path for accessibility and used rubber surfacing. The playground has a duo-swing where one seat is adapted for use by people with various handicaps. There’s a big slide, a mini slide, monkey bars, somersault bars and a spinner that offers a comfortable seat for kids who can only play sitting down. By mixing equipment, kids with and without handicaps learn to play together. The playground offers ample seating, including an adapted picnic table that can be used by wheelchair users. Another inclusive feature is the ‘prikkelarm hoekje’, a little secluded area that can be used by neurodivergent kids who need to retreat and recuperate for a bit, but can also work as an accessible hiding place. The area is surrounded by plants and has an emotion wheel. Furthermore, this playground features a table for table tennis, jeu de boules and a new basketball court.

The playground also features two areas with wildflowers.
