How We Research
How Inclusive Play Atlas reviews public information, what verified means, and how we handle incomplete data.
Sources
Common sources include official park pages, accessibility summaries, municipal documents, public maps, nonprofit resources, and direct corrections from families or operators.
Feature Vocabulary
We favor specific terms such as transfer access, ramp routes, unitary surface, engineered wood fiber, adaptive swing, communication board, sensory play element, shade, fencing, and nearby restroom access.
Confidence Levels
A detail is strongest when it appears in an official source or a recent firsthand correction. If a detail is implied by photos, older descriptions, or third-party summaries, the profile should treat it with more caution.
Known Limits
This site does not replace an on-site accessibility audit. Conditions change, equipment breaks, restrooms close, and routes can be blocked, so visitors should confirm critical needs before a special trip.
What We Mean By Inclusion
We prioritize playgrounds with meaningful accessibility features, inclusive design elements, or public information that supports a serious access-focused review.
What We Exclude
We may exclude thin park stubs, inaccessible duplicates, or pages without enough public detail to support a useful access-focused listing.
