2007 California Public Resources Code Chapter 2.6. Public Playground Equipment

CA Codes (prc:5410-5411)

5410.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares that playground
equipment accessible to and usable by all persons regardless of
physical condition is becoming increasingly available.  The
Legislature further finds and declares that it is a matter of
statewide interest and concern that all public agencies providing
playgrounds utilize such facilities to the maximum extent possible,
and, where feasible, provide playground equipment usable by both
able-bodied and physically disabled persons so as to integrate
able-bodied and physically disabled persons within such playgrounds.




5411.  All public agencies operating playgrounds, including state
agencies, cities, counties, a city and county, school districts and
other districts, shall, with respect to new playground equipment
purchased on or after January 1, 1979, provide that a portion of the
equipment within the playground is accessible and usable by all
persons regardless of their physical condition whenever such
equipment is available at a quality and cost which is comparable to
the quality and cost of standard equipment.
