Inclusive Play Equipment

One child wheels up the ramp in a wheelchair, another is already standing behind the counter, selling. Next door, there is counting on the abacus, and sand is hauled up in a bucket and sent sliding down the tube. At the play shop, all the children play together, in whatever way their abilities allow.

Play shop with access ramp, platforms, yellow play walls, abacus and yellow tube slide on a sand surface

Inclusive play equipment for nurseries, schools and playgrounds

Our play shop is designed specifically for all children playing together. It has barrier-free access from many sides, and an access ramp also allows wheelchair access. The play shop counter, the play wall with noughts and crosses, the board in Braille, the painting board and the abacus are all on wide paths. The short tube slide has a low, wide platform, and there is also a sand bucket with a pulley.

The play shop is intended for schools, public playgrounds, parks and childcare centres, recommended from the age of one and for up to 23 children at the same time. While buying and selling, calculating and exploring by touch, the children practise role play, calculating and reading, and because they rely on one another, they learn to show consideration and to play together.

In this category we currently carry the play shop. In our range, the play value of inclusion is also carried by equipment in other categories, such as the inclusive swing, which is designed for children with different physical abilities. You will find it among our swings.

Planning barrier-free play equipment: area, material and safety

Inclusion does not mean that every child can use every item of equipment. The planning standard for playgrounds, DIN 18034-1, describes inclusion as participation in play by all children, regardless of their abilities. What counts here are barrier-free paths and play opportunities for different abilities. Our wheelchair-accessible seating groups Augsburg and Wolfsburg, found under Benches and tables, are suitable for lingering at the edge.

The play shop is TÜV-certified and tested and manufactured to DIN EN 1176. The posts are available in pressure-treated wood, hot-dip galvanised steel, recycled material or powder-coated aluminium in red or anthracite. The boards and fence panels are made of HDPE; the roof, stairs and slide are made of recycled, UV-resistant polyethylene.

Because the play shop has a slide, the impact area needs impact-absorbing surfacing; the data sheet specifies around 51 square metres of safety surfacing. How to calculate the area is shown by our safety surfacing calculation, and you will find the right surfacing under Safety surfacing.

We plan your area with you

You give us the dimensions of your area, and we will create a drawing for you showing the arrangement of the equipment and the necessary safety surfacing areas. By phone, we advise you on the space requirements of your planned play structure, even if you are only just developing an inclusive play space.

Frequently asked questions

What is inclusive play equipment?

Inclusive play equipment is built so that children with and without disabilities can use it together. Our play shop, for example, is accessible by wheelchair, its play walls are on wide paths, and a board in Braille appeals to children who cannot see or have difficulty seeing.

What does inclusion on playgrounds mean?

Inclusion on playgrounds means that all children can take part in play, regardless of age, origin and individual abilities. This is how the planning standard DIN 18034-1 describes it. It does not mean that every child uses every item of equipment, but that an inclusive playground offers paths that everyone can reach and play opportunities for different abilities.

Is the play shop accessible by wheelchair?

Yes, the play shop has an access ramp for wheelchair users and has barrier-free access from many sides. The counter and play walls for calculating, reading, writing and pushing are on wide paths, and the tube slide has a low, wide platform.

From what age is the play shop suitable?

The play shop is recommended from the age of one and is designed for up to 23 children at the same time. According to the data sheet, it is suitable for schools, public playgrounds, parks and childcare centres.

How much space does the play shop need?

For the area with impact-absorbing surfacing, the data sheet specifies around 51 square metres of safety surfacing. The unit itself measures around 380 by 536 centimetres and is 2.40 metres high. The impact area is given in the technical details. We are happy to draw the arrangement for your area. The play shop is anchored in foundations of 50 by 50 by 50 centimetres.

Is there more inclusive play equipment?

Yes, in other categories: among our swings you will find the inclusive swing, and the seating groups Augsburg and Wolfsburg are wheelchair-accessible. We are happy to advise you by phone on which equipment suits your area.
