What is the maximum cross slope permitted on an accessible route within a play area?

The maximum allowable cross slope on accessible routes is 1:48 (approximately 2%) to prevent wheelchairs from drifting sideways.
A playground has 20 elevated play components. What is the minimum number that must be accessible under ADA?
Answer: 5
When a playground has 20 or more elevated play components, at least 25% (5 of 20) must be accessible via ramp or transfer system.
What is the maximum running slope for an accessible route (non-ramp segment) within a play area?
Answer: 1:20
Non-ramp accessible routes must have a running slope no steeper than 1:20 (5%) per ADA 2010 Standards.
Which method is NOT recognized by ADA as an acceptable way to provide access to elevated play components?
Answer: Elevator
ADA permits access to elevated play components only via ramps, transfer systems, or a combination of both; elevators are not a listed method for playgrounds.
