ENA playable play environment is crucial for the realization of children’s play. To benefit children of different ages and abilities, i.e. toddlers, primary students, teenagers, children with a physical disability or other special needs, the concept of an “Inclusive Play Environment” thus arises. It means that an environment should be created so that each and every child can freely enjoy different kinds of play facilities and different play experience.
Our Play Environment Team strives to promote the development of inclusive playgrounds to fulfill play experiences for all children through advocacy projects and consultancy services, which incorporate inclusive play theory, play space design and playground safety professional knowledge in the public and private sectors in Hong Kong. Playright also consults with overseas professional organizations to provide training and exchanges to improve professional standards in this sector.
In future decade, we aim to make every public playground in Hong Kong to be safe, accessible, playful and inclusive for all.
