Design spaces and experiences for all.
Spaces designed to include those with disabilities are accessible for all park users, and an accessible-first approach should be considered when improving or designing park elements. Design spaces to have ample seating, generous pathways, and varied experiences that are accessible and usable for all. Consider flexible and multi-use spaces that support park users, vendors, mobility hubs, community events, and changing neighborhood priorities. Focus on making primary experiences all-inclusive. Ensure that both universally accessible and non accessible areas have shade.
Design recreation areas to encourage use by multiple genders and age groups.
Use gender-equity best practices when designing recreational amenities by breaking up monolithic active recreation spaces to include seating and gathering spaces that can accommodate flexible uses, and consider striping fields for multiple sports.
