I really like this article and fully advocate getting kids away from computers / smartphone and outside for exercise and fun. There is no phone app for outside play

Handicap Ramps - Gateway to a Successful Playground

Gateway to a Successful Playground


By now we all should be aware of the  March 2012 ADA accessibility requirement for all commercial playgrounds...every commercial playground needs to be accessible. Interesting observation about the installation of ADA wheelchair ramps is our customers are reporting kids seem to be using the ramp as an entrance to the playground and not just jumping over the plastic playground border anymore. Imagine that, ADA ramps are becoming the "gateway" to playgrounds.

When selecting a wheelchair ramp please be aware they are available in a variety of sizes and designs. Ramps are fitted to 8" , 9" or 12" Plastic Playground Borders and are either a full or half ramp. The most popular style is the 1/2 ramp. If you have questions on which ramp is right for your, you can always call us at 888.760.2499
