What is Everyone Can Play?

Everyone Can Play is a best practice resource for councils, community leaders, landscape architects and passionate local residents. It is a reference guide for creating world-class playspaces, designed to include everyone in the community.

Our Principles

Can I get there?

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

Can I play?

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

Can I stay?

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.
