Problems Targeted

Public parks often lack accessible design, safe sensory spaces, and exclude most persons with disabilities from participation and joint activities.

Solution, Innovation and Impact

The Adventures Park for All was developed with a Universal Design philosophy from the outset, addressing physical, cognitive, and sensory accessibility equally. Spanning approximately 5,000 square meters, the park comprises the themed zones of Air, Water, and Earth, including services and a meeting zone. Barrier-free recreational access is provided through features such as adaptive swings, sensory installations, tactile guides, audio navigation, and accessible restrooms. Pioneering features include tactile slide markings for children with visual impairments, intuitive sensory impulses, and wheelchair-accessible treehouses. Co-designed by Sarig Waksman Landscape Architecture Ltd, a team of accessibility experts (ArchAbility, Adaptive Design, and Global Ramp), and people with disabilities, the park functions as both a playground and a living educational and therapeutic hub for inclusion and accessibility. Since it's opening, the park has become a central recreational space for parents and children with disabilities, and soon will serve as a venue for guided tours, educational programmes, and professional training. Usage has surged, with Approximately 45,000 of the annual visitors are individuals with disabilities across various age groups Planned partnerships with schools, DPOs, and therapy providers will support hundreds of events each year.

Funding, Outlook and Transferability

The Adventures Park for All is fully publicly funded through the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and revenues generated by the non-profit municipal park company Ganei Yehoshua. The cost of constructing the park amounted to over 5 million shekels (approx. €1.2 million). The project is thoroughly documented and scalable for other municipalities in Israel and internationally.
