PlayWood Structures "Specialties in Inclusive Play"

Every child has a right to meaningful play. That's why Henderson designs Play Wood play environments that embrace children of all abilities with a variety of access points and multi-sensory play components.

A world-renowned medical institute in Boston, Massachusetts needed a very specialized playground to service the play needs of their three hundred child residents, who are a combination of blind, deaf, and ambulatory children. Play wood Structures met that challenge. Henderson's designers used a rubber suspension bridge and special multi-sided nets to allow children with limited mobile access to be able to have challenging walking and climbing experiences. A variety of textures and special spacing were used to provide sensory clues to children feeling their way around the structure.
