PLAYGROUND QUALITY ASSESSMENT

research / 2013-2018 / The Playground Project: INDIGO programs used: Google Forms, Excel, ArcGIS, Illustrator

Our research aimed to develop a tool that can be used by any member of the public to evaluate their community’s play space infrastructure and to use the findings to constructively advocate for improvements. The scorecard emphasizes the importance of designing play spaces for users of all abilities. We used Boston as our case study to test this tool and to understand our context.
