The Power of Colour

Presented by Scott Roschi

Colour is vital to the human experience. Whether it’s innate or learned, it’s undeniable that colour has a vital impact on how we go about our lives. It can affect the way we feel, think, interact with one another and so much more. Colour is a subtle yet powerful communication tool, which is why it’s one of the most important decisions that can be made when designing a playground environment. Join our experts to truly understand the power of colour, and how it can impact moods, feelings and behaviours on the playground.

• That preferences for colours evolve and develop just as children/individuals evolve and develop
• The importance of using research over preference when it comes to selecting colour
• The impact colour has in the built environment including on the playground

Inclusion of All Sizes

Presented by Jill Moore

As inclusive playgrounds continue to grow more popular, communities face the challenge of wanting to create meaningful inclusive playgrounds in smaller spaces with often limited budgets. This education session explores strategies to create a more inclusive park system focusing first on identifying who uses our parks and understanding their diverse needs and abilities. Armed with that knowledge, communities can choose play components that offer the greatest benefit, encompassing sensory, social, cognitive and physical elements of play. Finally, experts will share case studies and resources to ensure that everyone has a place to play within the park system.

• Develop skills to assess the ability demographic of your local community by leveraging local resources, geographic information, and establishing connections with key individuals
• Learn to utilize ability demographic data to strategically select play equipment that maximizes support for physical, sensory, cognitive and social development.
• Master best practices for selecting equipment that aligns with both spatial and budgetary constraints, while also integrating these practices to cultivate an inclusive park system.
