Playgrounds
Outdoor play provides children with the opportunity to explore their environment, have adventures and practice social and physical skills. Playgrounds are a great way for children to get outdoors to play and learn.
All abilities playgrounds
All abilities playgrounds enable children of all ages and abilities to experience a range of natural and built environments to encourage different types of play.
There are 17 all abilities playgrounds in Queensland.
Local playgrounds
Many local councils are making their playgrounds more accessible to children with disability. To find out if a playground in your area suits your needs, contact your local council.
Wheelchair swings
Many playgrounds throughout Queensland have a wheelchair swing that enables a child in a wheelchair or with a physical impairment to experience the exhilaration of swinging through the air.
