Step-free, roll-on access
Firm, flush, joint-free surfacing and ramped routes let wheelchairs and walking frames reach and move through the play space — not just look at it from the edge.
Inclusive & Accessible Play
An inclusive playground is one where the child who uses a wheelchair, the child who finds noise overwhelming, and the child who never stops moving can all play in the same space. We design for that — by default, not as an add-on.
International schools increasingly serve neurodiverse learners and students with physical disabilities, and hold themselves to genuine inclusion. We design play environments that meet those commitments — accessible routes, sensory-inclusive equipment, quiet retreat, and ground-level play — aligned to EN 1176 inclusive-play guidance and SEND best practice.
Key enhancements
What makes a Leka playground genuinely inclusive.
Ground-level & transfer play
Ground-level activity panels, roundabouts and transfer points mean a child doesn't have to climb to take part, so play happens side-by-side.
Sensory-inclusive design
Tactile, auditory and visual play for sensory seekers, plus calmer textures and predictable layouts — so the playground engages every kind of nervous system.
Quiet retreat zones
Low-stimulation nooks and shaded retreat spaces give over-stimulated or anxious children a place to self-regulate and rejoin play on their own terms.
Graduated challenge for all
Side-by-side easy and harder options on the same equipment let mixed abilities play together, each at their own level, without separating the group.
SEND-aware specification
We work with your SENCo and inclusion lead so the design reflects your actual learners — not a generic accessibility checklist.
Why choose us
Why schools design inclusive play with Leka.
Inclusion by design
Accessibility is built into the layout, equipment and surfacing from the first sketch — not bolted on at the end.
Standards-aligned
Designed to EN 1176 inclusive-play guidance and recognised SEND and accessibility best practice, with the rationale documented.
Co-designed with your team
We design alongside your SENCo, inclusion and therapy staff so the space fits your students' real needs.
Inclusive and certified
A flush, accessible finish that still meets EN 1177 / ASTM F1292 fall-height protection — safe and inclusive at once.
For architects & specifiers
Specifying play for a school or campus? We work the way your studio does.
Much of our work reaches the ground through the architects and landscape architects who design the schools and campuses it sits in. Here is what that partnership adds to your practice.
Schematic-phase design support
Brief us at concept or schematic stage and we send back layout options, 3D renders and a play-value rationale you can drop into a client presentation — free, with no obligation to buy.
BoQ-ready, bilingual specs
Each item arrives specified — dimensions, materials, safety zones, certifications — as drawing-ready line items in English and Thai, so your QS and your client read the same document.
Compliance evidence for your set
Play equipment certified to EN 1176, surfacing to EN 1177 / ASTM F1292, with critical-fall-height data sized to each structure — the documentation your specification and the site inspection need.
Factory-direct pricing
We manufacture and import directly, so the play budget buys specified-grade equipment at a transparent price — and tends to survive value engineering with the spec intact.
One accountable partner
Design support, supply, surfacing and installation under a single contract — so the outdoor-play scope does not fragment across your consultants and the main contractor’s trades.
Specified for the tropics
UV-stable, monsoon-drained and corrosion-rated for Southeast-Asian sites — so what leaves your drawings still performs and looks right after a few seasons on the ground.
Whether you’re designing a K-12 school, a university or campus building, an international school or an early-years or kindergarten setting, the play and outdoor-learning scope is the part we make drawing-ready.
Education FAQ
Common questions for this scope.
What does 'inclusive play' actually mean here?
Play where children of different abilities take part together in the same space — wheelchair users, neurodiverse learners and able-bodied children side by side — rather than a single 'accessible' item set apart.
Do you follow a recognised accessibility standard?
We design to EN 1176 inclusive-play guidance and recognised SEND and accessibility best practice, and document the rationale so your inclusion team and inspectors can see how each decision supports access.
How do you support sensory and neurodiverse needs?
Through sensory-inclusive equipment, predictable layouts, calmer-texture zones and quiet retreat spaces — so over- and under-stimulated children both find play that suits them.
Can an existing playground be made more inclusive?
Often yes — flush surfacing, ramped access, ground-level panels and a quiet retreat can be retrofitted to an existing space. We audit what you have and prioritise the highest-impact changes first.
Can you support our schematic or design-development phase?
Yes. Brief us at concept or schematic stage and we return layout options, 3D renders and a play-value rationale you can put straight into a client presentation, at no cost. We stay available through DD and tender so the specification stays coordinated.
Do you provide BoQ-ready specifications and CAD/3D for our drawings?
Every item is specified with dimensions, materials, safety zones and certifications — in English and Thai — as drawing-ready line items, with 2D footprints and 3D models or renders on request so your team can place equipment accurately.
Is the equipment certified to the standards we have to specify?
Play equipment is certified to EN 1176 and surfacing to EN 1177 / ASTM F1292, with critical-fall-height data matched to each structure. We hand over the documentation your specification and the project’s safety inspection require.
