Our Principles

""

Consider location, layout, adequate signage, wayfinding and accessibility to ensure everyone can find their way to, in and around the playspace.

""

No two playspaces are the same and little changes can make a big difference.

""

Consider these tips to make it easier for everyone to stay at the playspace for as long as they like.

Everyone Can Play guideline

The Everyone Can Play guideline has transformed the way playspaces are planned, designed, delivered and managed. Following on from this success, three new guidance chapters have been created. Expanding on the principles of ‘Can I get there? Can I play? Can I stay?’, the new guideline has been developed with a focus on place, nature and water.
