Petition Action

Create a sensory integrated playpark for younger and older adults.

Petition Details

There are no current facilities within the UK for adults to access a sensory playpark. We need to build a minimum of 3 parks in each country of the UK that have sensory integrated equipment suitable for both younger and older adults.

Additional Information

Individuals with sensory processing difficulties require specialist exercises such as bouncing, swinging, climbing and spinning to strengthen their connection with their bodies and the world around them. These individuals need this no matter their chronological age. It is not deemed as socially acceptable for an adult with additional support needs to visit a playpark nor is possible as the equipment is not built for their size.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about provision of leisure facilities are a matter for individual businesses and local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
