ADA Compliance
All our playgrounds meet federal accessibility guidelines.
In 1992, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 became effective. This federal law prohibits disability-based discrimination by states, local governments and private entities (such as restaurants or child-care centers) that provide public accommodation. The law expands and helps clarify Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It applies to new and existing play areas—meaning that you must bring all playgrounds into ADA compliance.
The Architectural and Transportation Compliance Board has established guidelines for playgrounds by adding technical and scoping provisions to the existing ADA accessibility guidelines (ADAAG). These guidelines are the standard of practice and the legal basis for determining compliance with ADA. Only new or altered play areas are affected.
You can rest assured that playgrounds designed by Ross Recreation Equipment will meet all federal accessibility guidelines and provide challenge and fun for all children.
