Guide to ADA. Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance board Guide to ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas INTRODUCTION. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits dis- crimination on the basis of disability. The ADA requires that newly constructed and altered State and local government facilities, places of public accommodation, and commercial facilities be readily accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities. Recreational facilities, including play Areas , are among the facilities required to comply with the ADA. The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance board - often referred to as the access board - has developed Accessibility Guidelines for newly constructed and altered play Areas .
Copies of the play area accessibility guidelines and further technical assistance can be obtained from the U.S. Access Board, 1331 F Street, Suite 1000 NW, Washington, DC 20004-1111; 800-872-2253, 800-993-2822 (TTY); www.access-board.gov.
