Play Space Design Guidelines
Play Space Design Guidelines
For many councils, schools, and community organisations across Aotearoa, investing in a play space involves balancing a wide range of factors. These include budget constraints, long-term maintenance, accessibility, cultural responsiveness, safety requirements, and the diverse needs of tamariki and whānau.Decisions can be complex. What types of play experiences should be prioritised? How can spaces be inclusive and accessible for all abilities? How do we reflect local identity, support environmental sustainability, and ensure long-term value?
