U.S. Access Board Summary of Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas Page 10 When applying the play area guidelines, it is important to identify the different play experiences play components can provide. Different “Types” At least one of each type of play component provided at ground level in a play area must be on an accessible route. Different “types” of play components are based on the general experience provided by the play component. Different types include, but are not limited to, experiences such as rocking, swinging, climbing, spinning, and sliding. A Swinging Type A Rocking Type This single play component provides one type of play experience for multiple individuals. “Rocking” is an example of horizontal movement that can be backwards, forwards, sideways or even circular in nature. “Sliding” is an example of rapid descent that utilizes the force of gravity. 12 13 14 wheredotheplayareaguidelinesapply?
