Inclusive playgrounds don’t come together by accident—they come from a team that understands how details (routes, layout, surfacing, sensory needs, shade, seating, and play variety) work together to create real participation for everyone. Big T Recreation has demonstrative, on-the-ground experience delivering high-visibility, community-defining inclusive parks across Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, including destination projects like Wild West (West Jordan), East Riverfront (South Jordan), Adventure Heights (Spanish Fork), Lehi City Family Park, and Cook Family Park & Splash Pad.As a Playworld representative, we apply proven inclusive play principles during planning and equipment selection—helping owners translate inclusive goals into a clear design direction, a buildable scope, and a park that performs for families day after day. We support the full project—from early concepts and budgeting through surfacing, shade, site furnishings, procurement guidance, and installation coordination.

A Helpful Guide
Accessibility focuses on getting into the play area. Inclusion focuses on designing activities and layout so people of different abilities can participate together once they’re there.
Not necessarily. Inclusive results can come from play variety, ground-based play, smart layout, and surfacing choices—ramps are only one tool.
Variety across physical/sensory/social play, multiple challenge levels, grouped activities, unitary surfacing, maneuverable routes, and zoning for sensory needs.
Often yes—layout changes, surfacing upgrades, adding a few targeted inclusive elements, and improving routes can move the needle significantly.
Absolutely. Zoning, sensory variety, accessible routes, and sightlines all support inclusive play goals.
