Murphy-Oakley Inclusive Playground Survey
Murphy-Oakley Inclusive Playground Survey
Please take this survey before Monday, March 6, 2023 if you, your friends, and/or your family visit Murphy-Oakley Park's playground or plan to visit in the future.
Communities are diverse. Playgrounds should be, too. Active, independent play is critical to the health, well-being, and social opportunities of all kids. However, the benefits of play are not limited solely to children, but reach across communities throughout one’s lifespan. Although children are the primary user group of playgrounds, truly inclusive environments are designed with a broader multigenerational approach in mind, providing all people a place to play and recreate with friends and family.
Fundamentally, inclusively-designed environments are a statement about a community’s social values and every individual’s right to play. The goal of a redesigned Murphy-Oakley Park playground is to innovate equitable recreation experiences and provide quality outdoor play for people of all abilities that encourage both physical and social inclusion.
