Contrasting colors and textures can make a playground more visually appealing and engaging for children of all ages. It can also help children with visual impairments to better navigate the space.
- Safe space approach (being able to look from outside before intervening to play)
- There should be contrasts of colors and textures between the play and exercise elements, and the environment. Use colors and chromatic contrasts as a resource for orientation or Wayfinding.
- Use brightly colored play equipment that stands out against the background.
- Use a variety of materials for the play equipment, such as wood, metal, and plastic. Use texture and colour as a structuring element
- Use different textures for the ground surface, such as rubber mulch, sand, and grass.
- Use contrasting colors for the walls and fences.
