Ramps allow individuals who use wheelchairs and mobility devices to access elevated play components in composite play structures without transferring.

Where ramp access is required to access elevated platforms and decks on composite play structures, gratings or elongated openings shall be no greater than a ½ inch and be placed so that the long dimension is perpendicular to the dominant direction of travel. Decking or platform surfaces that are part of a transfer system connecting accessible elevated play components are not required to comply with this requirement.

Advisory.
