Inch Park Inclusive Play Space Survey

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.
