On March 15, 2012 the new ADA standards regarding the accessibility of public playgrounds in the United States went into effect. These new ADA standards addressed routes, surfacing, ramps, access and transfer spaces, ground level activities and more. The US Department of Justice is serious about ensuring that public playgrounds are accessible for all children. Childforms want to help you ensure your playground is compliant. Contact us to discuss a plan to bring your playground into compliance with the new ADA playground standards. Visit ada.gov to read the full text of the ADA guidelines on accessibility. The purpose of this ADA site is to raise awareness and provide education about some considerations to promote ADA compliance. It should not be considered all-encompassing. We encourage you to read the Standards and seek additional information if necessary. Please refer to manufacturer specifications and safety warnings and continue to provide normal safety inspections. Safety goes beyond these comments, requires common sense, and is specific to the playground involved.
