    ADA requires at least 50% of ground-level play components to be on an accessible route, with at least one of each type.

  2. Which ASTM standard governs the accessibility of playground ground surfaces for wheelchair users?

    Answer: ASTM F1951

    ASTM F1951 evaluates playground surfaces for accessibility by measuring the work required to propel a wheelchair across the surface.

  3. What is the maximum cross slope permitted on an accessible route within a play area?

    Answer: 1:48

    The maximum allowable cross slope on accessible routes is 1:48 (approximately 2%) to prevent wheelchairs from drifting sideways.

  4. A playground has 20 elevated play components. What is the minimum number that must be accessible under ADA?

    Answer: 5

    When a playground has 20 or more elevated play components, at least 25% (5 of 20) must be accessible via ramp or transfer system.

  5. What is the maximum running slope for an accessible route (non-ramp segment) within a play area?

    Answer: 1:20

    Non-ramp accessible routes must have a running slope no steeper than 1:20 (5%) per ADA 2010 Standards.

  6. Which method is NOT recognized by ADA as an acceptable way to provide access to elevated play components?

    Answer: Elevator

    ADA permits access to elevated play components only via ramps, transfer systems, or a combination of both; elevators are not a listed method for playgrounds.
