This playground will look as if it is made for ordinary kids. However this playground is actually a multi function playground. Ordinary and disabled kids can have fun together which will foster friendships. I think that this playground is a very good opportunity for disabled kids to have interaction with the ordinary children.

Swing Set and Playground Swing Seats



Swings make children feel like they can fly. Good swing set seats lets them experience that feeling while staying safe. American Swing prides itself on making the highest quality playground swing seats on the market. This swing is well suitable for young handicapped children. This will boost the confidence of the children and feel like there are having the same experience as the ordinary children.






  1. 1.This swing is for people who is riding wheelchair.This may help the handicapped people to experience that they have the taste of swinging


    2.The sign is to tell people that this playground activities is for handicapped people


    3.This is a specailly made for the handicapped people to experience how the feeling of digging holes in the sand in a sandy playground!!!!



There are swings made specially for handicap people and there are also
slopes made for wheelchairs to go up so that it would be more convenient for them

Examples of play grounds we are going to make

LIKE THIS TYPE OF PLAYGROUND:














I like the playground because it HAS SOME THE EQUIPMENT IN THE PLAYGROUND and they also make the playground full of slopes which alow all the handicapped people to move up and down. They can move FREELY around the playground!!!!! Also this playground looks really interesting because it has all the functions of the handicapped playground. So in my opinion, this playground can encourage handicapped people to experience how interesting the playground could be.
