Accessible Play Areas - A Summary of Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas

Phasing in Play Areas

When play areas are constructed in phases, they must continue to meet the play area guidelines throughout construction.  The initial phase area must meet the guidelines, and then at each successive phase the whole play area must be reassessed to assure compliance.  “Phased Designs” are play areas developed to be installed in different stages, allowing the play area to grow in a planned manner while accommodating budgets, fund raising, or community approval processes.  The play area shown below will be installed in twp phases.  As each phase is completed, the entire play area must be reevaluated for compliance.
