Steps
Review the U.S. Access Board's Chapter 10 Play Areas guide (access-board.gov) for scoping and technical requirements.
Determine the required number/type of accessible ground-level play components based on the number of elevated components provided.
For elevated components reached by ramp, verify accessible routes, handrails on both sides, and required maneuvering space are provided.
Confirm ground-level components are reachable via an accessible route with proper clear floor/ground space, not just physically adjacent to one.
Check accessible surfacing requirements separately (Chapter 10 Play Surfaces guidance), since surface firmness/stability affects accessible-route compliance apart from equipment layout.
Known gotchas
Accessible ground-level and elevated component requirements scale with how many play components of each type exist on site — one accessible ramp doesn't automatically satisfy scoping for a large structure.
Surfacing meeting ASTM F1292 impact-attenuation requirements is not automatically compliant with ADA accessible-route firmness/stability requirements — check both separately.
