When designing a playground or outdoor play area, there are countless issues to consider. Some are obvious: location, size, safety, etc; but an issue that can go overlooked is wheel chair accessibility and complying to the guidelines set forth by the American with Disabilities Act, otherwise known as the ADA.

The Adventurous Child Playgrounds provide innovative solutions for outdoor playground problems. The Adventurous Child has more than 23 years of experience with the ADA, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.

How They Help

The Adventurous Child begins by designing a Master Site Plan. This will account for all factors of your site including space, utilities, slope, soil drainage, traffic patterns, supervision, obstructions, shade, and fences. In addition to these physical factors, outdoor learning standards will be incorporated into the Master Site Plan.

One of the beauties of having a Master Site Plan is the ability to pick and choose which children’s play equipment to install for the outdoor playground and still have a long range design plan for effectively utilizing the outdoor space and budget.
