Making Fa Facilities Accessible: All facilities funded by CNCB must “at a minimum” comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). 1) ADA Standard - index; 2) About ADA Standards; 3) Guidelines for Recreation Facilities (approaches/entrances; play areas; boating; fishing; golf; swimming pools; sports facilities (only entrances/movement and seating); and 4) Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Area (trails/trailheads/trail facilities; outdoor accessible routes; and outdoor constructed facilities – camping and picnic facilities, observation/viewing areas and beach access)
To Help Plan Your Facilities (page 4)

incorporated in public park settings);
in Designing for Inclusive Play: Applying Principles of Universal Design to the Playground. . (provides excellent details for making a playground universally accessible); and
Plan for its park system entitled Everyone’s Parks and Trails. (identifies UD criteria, audit of existing facilities, public involvement and establishing access priorities)
ADA Minimal Guidelines Universal Design Exceeds ADA
“Shoot for the Sky”
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 and 2010 ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for Title II (State and Local Government) 1) Self Evaluation and Transition Plan required; 2) ADAAG based upon the needs of the average wheelchair (i.e. physical and mobility impairment) user
do not require a wheelchair
“MINIMUM” numbers and specific measurements allowed by law 3) ADAAG doesn’t include requirements for children/adults with Down syndrome, sensory disorders and visual and hearing impairments.
accessibility
which is “inclusion” for everyone regardless of their abilities or disabilities.
create greater inclusive accessibility for all people of all abilities, so everyone can participate (i.e. inclusion) and enjoy the same quality recreation experiences together!!!
1- Equitable Use (design is useful and marketable to people with diverse
abilities)
2- Flexibility in Use (design accommodates a wide range of individual
preferences and abilities)
3- Simple and Intuitive (use of the design is easy to understand) 4- Perceptible Information (design communicates necessary info. to the
user)
5- Tolerance for Error (design minimizes hazards) 6- Low Physical Effort (design can be used efficiently and comfortably
with min. of fatigue)
7- Size and Space for Approach and Use
Trails – ADA requires width of 36”, running slope up to 5% to 8.3%; cross slope no steeper than 5%, passing spaces provided every 1000 ft. and surfacing firm and stable. Beyond ADA – provide wider width so 2 people can walk side by side or people can pass (60”), close to level cross slopes and very gently running slopes, no steep sections, and larger (greater than 60” x 60”) level areas at all turns and intersections and unitary surfacing with contrasting color or texture treatment at intersections.
a picnic area, at least 20%, but no less than two of the picnic units must provide mobility features. Similar requirement is true for picnic amenities (tables, grills, fire rings, etc.)
all amenities are accessible, level routes onto picnic shelter, wid er routes & clear space with firm surface around all elements for easy movement, grills you can lower/raise with one hand, etc.
accessibility to, within the play area and on the play equipment (including transfer platforms) and surfacing (including engineered wood fiber).
components, ramps to every “getting on spot” or “sit/stand & do it spot” of every play component, good variety of things to manipulate that make noise or music that are easy to operate with
kids with low vision can perceive a change in level, play panels located at heights for seated position or standing, etc.
Only use unitary safety surfacing such as poured-in-place or rubber tiles, NOT any loose fill materials like shredded rubber, wood chips
Unitary surfacing also meets safety impact standards for falls and provides a surface that does not require constant care to maintain its usability.
