Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was first published in 1991 with the intent of establishing an imperative for providing accessible public facilities. In keeping with the original plan of the ADA, public play areas will soon be required to apply the ruling to the design, planning and layout of outdoor play areas. Although this directive may seem confusing, it can be made simple, let KOMPAN show you how!

A LEADER IN ACCESSIBILITY KOMPAN's sales representatives are considered among the best trained in the industry and are prepared to work with the ADA requirements to help you create an appropriate, interesting, challenging and inclusive play environment without the boring, repetative play events and separation factors often associated with accessible playground facilities. The play environments that we create include spaces that challenge and develop motor skills, allow social interaction, and provide room for exploring with courage and curiosity.
