U.S. Access Board A Summary of Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas Page 32 Connected Elevated Components When transfer systems are used, an elevated play component may connect to other elevated play components, providing an innovative, accessible route. A crawl tube is an elevated play component in this composite structure. Going through the tunnel provides access to additional activities on the other side. Consideration should be given to how a play component is utilized when it is selected to connect to other elevated play events. When a transfer system is provided, children move through a play component like this crawling tube, using their own strength without a mobility device. Providing variety and excitement through elevated play spaces benefits all children. Tunnels and tubes make “getting there” an activity in itself. Elevated play components that are connected to other play components count toward fulfilling the requirement for the number of elevated components on an accessible route where transfer systems are used. 56 57 whataretherequirementsforaccessibleroutes?
