Features that support participation by children with different abilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAccording to the project guidelines, 70% of the play elements are accessible to all visitors and 50% are designed to be playable by every child.<\/p>\n
Materials and installation<\/h4>\n
For the playground surface, KSP installed ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass in combination with Schmitz shock pads. The play area also incorporates equipment supplied by Kompan.<\/p>\n
The project brought together multiple suppliers and specialists to create a safe and functional environment that meets the municipality’s requirements for accessibility, performance and long-term use.<\/p>\n
A collaborative project<\/h4>\n
Zedgar Velthuizen, project leader for the Physical Domain at the Municipality of Amsterdam, and project manager Marijn Sleurink were closely involved throughout the development and implementation of the project.<\/p>\n
The collaboration between the municipality, KSP Kunstgras, Kompan and Schmitz resulted in a playground that combines inclusive design principles with practical and durable material choices.<\/p>\n
Material management<\/h4>\n
The installed ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass was registered within the Take-Back Program that was in place at the time. During installation, offcuts and surplus material could be collected separately for future processing where suitable collection routes were available.<\/p>\n
A new community space<\/h4>\n
Brasapark demonstrates how inclusive design can be integrated into public outdoor spaces. The result is a modern playground where children with different abilities can meet, interact and enjoy outdoor play together in a safe and welcoming environment.<\/p>\n
Editor’s note, October 2026: this article describes the situation at the time of publication (September 2023).
