Shelters

A sudden thunderstorm, a heavy summer rainstorm sometimes force one to a quick scramble. Shelter DOften the situation goes back to normal in a few minutes and the sun shines again. The differently-abled person can be slowed down in the search of a shelter and therefore due to their slowness in escaping, can find themselves exposed to the rain and turmoil of objects carried by the wind.
The presence of a shelter, in a comfortable position with respect to the play area, could be providential. Such a shelter, if it has the adequate size and characteristics and if appropriately equipped, can also be used in other situations (shelter from the sun, breaks, outdoor toys also in rainy weather, a puppet theatre, meeting point for young people, exhibition area, concerts, etc.).

As it can be easily understood, structures that ensure providential shelter, or that offer an invaluable area of shade, are appreciated by most people who attend parks, confirming that universal design allows the greatest consent on choices made.
