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

Play Areas Separated by Age

To reduce the risk of injury, safety guidelines recommend separate play areas for different age groups.  In applying the guidelines, play areas designed for different age groups should be considered separately.  A play area designed for 2 to 5 year-olds is considered separate from one for 5 to 12 year-olds.  Therefore, compliance with the guidelines must be considered for each individual play area.
