This was easily the most fun site visit. Who wouldn't love exploring and learning playground equipment? I found out about the Kid Konnection playground while doing research on accessible play spaces. This play space is located in Mandeville Louisiana at the St. Tammany trace Trailhead. The entire park is accessible from large play structures to the sand pit to the swing set. The equipment specified is from Park and Play structures, a company that focuses on play as learning environments. All play systems include ramps and ground level activities that all children can enjoy. The swings are banana swings, suitable for small children and those in wheel chairs. The sand pit area allows space for children in wheel chairs to access large diggers and sand areas. The area is covered is a cushion outdoor flooring to protect students against the brunt of a fall. Also, the play equipment includes academic features such as match 3 games and mazes, as well as physical fitness equipment with pedal pushers and climb walls.
