An inclusive play space is planned for the north-west corner of Inch Park. This space is envisioned to be a “park within a park”; a carefully designed, high-quality play space with a focus on accessible amenities that will be a recreational destination both for local Hamilton residents and those travelling from farther afield in search of a fun, inclusive play experience.
The finished playground will be a space that embraces the principles of inclusive design in a way that celebrates inclusivity with meaningful placement of play equipment on accessible surfacing. The design will consider a variety of textures, play values, sensory experiences, changes in topography and plantings to create a play space that is truly unique and memorable for all.
The City of Hamilton wants to hear what you think. Choose a play space design and tell us what kind of play equipment you like.
Engagement Results
From July 17 to July 31 the public was asked to provide input on the 2 park designs, and the type of equipment that should be included in this new fun, inclusive play experience.

The design process for the Inch Park play space is guided by the “Radically Inclusive” model for designing playgrounds championed by Harper’s Playground. “Radically Inclusive” playgrounds are:
Physically inviting Is it accessible? And is it adaptive? Universal accessibility ensures that everybody can get everywhere and to everything. Adaptability means everything is designed to suit different conditions or needs.
Socially inviting Is it natural? Is it communal? Nature provides a calming effect on our emotional and physical health, reducing fear, stress and anger. Open, communal spaces allow people to gather, connect and share.
Emotionally inviting Is it thoughtful? Is it beautiful? Humans are impacted by their surroundings. Small, thoughtful details that provide comfort and delight the senses have a positive effect on a person’s wellbeing.
