Peninsula playgrounds included in council brochure
Central Coast Council has published a brochure about playgrounds suited to children with disabilities, which includes playgrounds at Ettalong and Umina.
Council director Ms Melanie Smith said the brochure was designed to provide parents and carers of children with a disability "more information on accessible playspaces so they can plan ahead when taking their children out".
The brochure includes playgrounds across the Central Coast, including the Ettalong Foreshore Playground and at the Peninsula Recreation Precinct in Sydney Ave, Umina.
Ms Smith said: "Playspaces are highly valued, and we understand the importance of accessible playspaces for everyone," Ms Smith said.
"This latest brochure contains information listing the accessible features of each playspace and is designed in an accessible format including pictograms and a pin drop map."
It was created with input from the Council's Access and Inclusion Reference Group, council asset managers and informed by the three principles of the Everyone Can Play Guidelines,
The brochure is available on the council's websitt as well as in print at local libraries.
The council has also produced other similar brochures, the Accessible Nature brochure and Accessible Beaches brochure.
