In pen and ink, children play across a playground. Two children are communicating with “fun phones” in front of a large play apparatus. It has a slide wide enough for a child and parent to slide down together. A climbing wall on a diagonal, with big chunky green hand-holds. It has a ramp up, from the ground, where at the first level a girl is spinning a big cog on the sides of the apparatus.

On the second level, connected by a ramp with railings, a boy is playing on a standing xylophone.

Besides the apparatus is a swing set with two children playing on it. One is sitting on a standard, rectangle-shaped swing seat. The other is on a swing seat shaped like a chair, with straps to keep the child secure.

Next to them is a yellow and orange playhouse, with a child chilling out with their arms crossed in the window. Three children are whizzing around on a ground-level roundabout, one of whom uses a wheelchair.

A muted green playground in a sketch format. Text labels pointing to the equipment say: “a low-level climbing frame with ramp access”, “playground ‘fun phone’”, “a quiet space to take a break”, “accessible roundabout”, “swing for wheelchairs”, “benches with space for everyone”, “stepping stone logs and mushroom stools for sensory seekers”

The background of the image is sepia-toned grid paper. There is lots of equipment and children and their families playing on it, all depicted as line drawings in black and white.

The playground is green with yellow stars and a dark grey path between the equipment. Two children are drawing a smiling sun using chalk on the path. Leaves and trees are illustrated across the piece.

Text labels point to each piece of equipment. They say: “a low-level climbing frame with ramp access”, “playground ‘fun phone’”, “a quiet space to take a break”, “accessible roundabout”, “swing for wheelchairs”, “benches with space for everyone”, “stepping stone logs and mushroom stools for sensory seekers”

Space-Pirate Playground by Paul Miller

Children have a collective thought bubble of a space-pirate-themed playground. An accessible spaceship with lots of music and sensory equipment is in the centre. It’s surrounded by accessible play equipment in the rest of the playground.

The faces of 6 children and a parent at the bottom of the cartoon image have a collective thought bubble. One child is wearing a hearing aid, another has headphones on, one holds up a white cane and another’s wheelchair handles are popping into the frame.

In their thought bubble is a vibrant space-pirate-themed playground with a spaceship with an open roof in the centre. Inside the spaceship is a tall standing xylophone, a different xylophone to sit at, a sensory wall that looks like half a planet and a small maze.

The planets of the solar system are on top of the wall of the exterior of the ship. At the front of a ship, there's a slide with two people going down together. At the back of the spaceship, where the engine would be, is a ramp. On the ground of the playground are flames, so it looks like the rocket is taking off.

In the rest of the playground is a zip-wire with a seat like a chair, with a rocket on either side of the seat of the chair. There's a large swing set with a bucket swing that looks like a UFO and a rectangular swing seat next to it.

Two children, one of whom uses a wheelchair, are spinning on an accessible, ground-level roundabout. The roundabout has a roof that looks like the tip of a spaceship. Another child bounces on a trampoline that is set into the ground. A shooting star is coming out of the trampoline. Another two children are playing on an accessible see-saw with sides to grab on top. One of the children’s walkers is next to them as they play.

A half-moon with a tunnel going through it is emerging from the ground. A child is standing at the top, holding onto the Union Jack flag triumphantly. Their parent is taking a picture of them using their phone. Another parent is helping their small child climb up.

Two children are seated on a round court for seated basketball, one is about to get the basketball in the net and the other is trying to block them.

In the background are lots of accessible picnic benches, with spaces for wheelchair users to sit.
