An inclusive playground is more than just adding ramps. True inclusivity means designing equipment that enables children with disabilities to interact, share play experiences and connect with others. 

Moduplay’s inclusive play equipment promotes social interaction, skill development and a sense of belonging by creating spaces where children of all abilities can access play areas and play side by side. 

Our sensory play equipment and sand and water play activities engage multiple senses, providing opportunities for children to learn through touch, sound, balance and movement.For example, Panels such as the Sign Language Panel and the Sensory Texture Panel support low-level wheelchair access and encourage interaction through tactile and visual experiences. These panels promote communication, sensory exploration and engagement for children who benefit from audio-visual and hands-on play.

It’s a common misconception that accessibility means adding a ramp or ticking a box with one ‘token’ inclusive feature.  A playground designed for inclusivity considers every child’s ability to take part in play. This includes ground-level features, wide access points, supportive swing seats, carousels that can be used by children with mobility aids and equipment that encourages group play. 

A playground becomes inclusive when children with disabilities can actively join in with their peers, not just access the space. This is why Moduplay offers a complete range of disability playground equipment, including playground swings, spring rockers, trampolines, slides and sensory activities designed for all-abilities participation.Moduplay’s interactive panels also enhance inclusion by supporting communication, creativity and sensory play. Panels such as the Colour Wheel Kaleidoscope Panel and the Count Five Panel encourage visual engagement, counting, and colour recognition. These low-level features invite children using mobility aids to play side by side with others, helping them explore textures, movement and coordination in a way that feels natural and social.

When planning an accessible playground, we need to consider:

✅ The age range and abilities of the children who will use the space

✅ How an inclusive design will encourage children to play together, not separately

✅ Accessibility of paths, surfaces and entry points to the equipment

✅ Weather durability and choice of materials to withstand Australian conditions

✅ Compliance with Australian safety standards, including AS 4685.1:2021 and AS 1428 for accessible environments

✅ Funding opportunities available through government and community grants.
