Inclusive Play Symposium | Northern California
About this Event
Join Unlimited Play, Little Tikes Commercial, All About Play, and Mission Oaks Recreation and Park District for an engaging morning focused on creating communities where everyone belongs through inclusive play.
This complimentary symposium is designed for parks and recreation professionals, landscape architects, municipal leaders, school administrators, planners, engineers, and community advocates interested in creating recreation spaces that go beyond ADA compliance to provide meaningful play opportunities for every child.
Through practical strategies, real-world case studies, and collaborative discussion, participants will learn how thoughtful investment in inclusive play strengthens communities, improves health and wellness, encourages social connection, and creates welcoming environments where children and families of all abilities can thrive.
During this interactive symposium, you'll learn about:
• What makes a playground truly inclusive, not simply ADA compliant
• The principles of successful inclusive play design
• Funding opportunities, grants, and community fundraising strategies
• Real-world case studies from successful inclusive playground projects
• Best practices for planning, designing, and implementing inclusive recreation spaces
Following the professional development session, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an optional site visit to experience inclusive play design in action.
Whether your community is beginning its first inclusive playground project or expanding an existing park system, you'll leave with practical ideas, valuable resources, and new professional connections to help move your vision forward.
