Accessible & Inclusive Playgrounds

 

Accessible Play Spaces Central Coast

The Central Coast is full of great places to play and explore, with the Central Coast Council creating inclusive, accessible play spaces for all ages and abilities. Accessible spaces are easy to reach and navigate for children with mobility needs, while inclusive spaces go further, offering sensory-rich experiences that support play, connection, and belonging for everyone. Here are some of our favourite accessible and inclusive play areas across the Central Coast.
