To afford accessible playgrounds, Windsor, Ont. is choosing to have less playgrounds.
By 2025 all public Ontario playgrounds are obligated to meet standards laid out in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. Due to the “massive impact” the specialized equipment will have on Windsor’s playground budget, 40 of the city’s 180 playgrounds will need to be phased out to cover the cost, says a recently-released report by the City of Windsor.
