U.S. Access Board A Summary of Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas Page 36 Play Tables Play tables are surfaces, boards, slabs, or counters that are created for play. This includes tables designed for sand and water play, gathering areas, and other activities. Where play tables are located on an accessible route, the wheelchair knee clearance minimums are: • 24 inches (610 mm) high minimum • 30 inches (760 mm) wide minimum • 17 inches (430 mm) deep minimum Play tables designed primarily for children under 5-years-old, may provide a parallel approach instead of knee clearance if the rim is a maximum of 31 inches (785 mm) high. The edge of this elevated sand table has been designed to provide access by providing a generous opening. The tops of rims, curbs, or other obstructions that would prevent access to a table surface should be 31 inches (785 mm) maximum in height. Play tables may be located at a ground or elevated level in a composite play structure. Consider the route, clear floor space and maneuvering spaces for tables intended to be accessible to individuals who use wheelchairs. 67 68 69 whatotherACCESSIBILITYrequirementsapplytoplaycomponents?
