Live / Beyond the Minimums: Accessibility Webinar Series / Part 3: Disability Park Awareness Panel

Disability Park Awareness Panel

Meeting the minimum accessibility design standards for play and recreation areas is the first step to ensuring everyone can participate, enjoy, and experience park and play area facilities. During the session, a panel of individuals with disabilities and professionals who support persons with disabilities will discuss features that can “make or break” play and recreational opportunities for individuals with autism, people with developmental disabilities, people with various sensory or communication needs, or individuals who are neurodivergent. Strategies, design elements, barriers, and accessibility will be discussed differently. We hope you will join us for this look beyond the minimum accessibility design standards to discover how your community can make your park and play areas more inclusive for everyone. This is the third session of a yearlong four-part Beyond the Minimums accessibility series. This webinar includes real-time captioning and video remote interpreting (VRI) upon request. To request video interpreting services and/or resources in an alternate format, please email core@playcore.com at least two weeks prior to the live webinar date.

1. Develop a statement of understanding that demonstrates the features that make a park or play area inclusive for everyone.
2. Summarize the features and elements people with disabilities look for when choosing their recreational experiences.
3. Evaluate existing park and play areas, and identify barriers that may restrict people with disabilities from being able to fully participate in the provided recreational opportunities.
4. List two (2) helpful resources to obtain additional information or to utilize when evaluating new and existing park and play areas for inclusion.
