Founded in 2006 and based in Loanhead, Edinburgh, Inclusive Play was established with a single, clear purpose: to ensure that no child is excluded from play.
We are proud to be the only play equipment manufacturer dedicated entirely to inclusive play.
Our journey began in a shed, where founder Paul developed the world’s first wheelchair-accessible roundabout. What started as a determination to solve a problem has grown into a globally recognised product range. Today, we manufacture hundreds of accessible roundabouts each year and offer an extensive catalogue of inclusive play equipment used by children and communities across the world.
Since 2018, the company has experienced substantial growth, enabling us to expand our facilities, strengthen our research and development capabilities, and deliver projects internationally. Despite this growth, our mission remains unchanged: every single play area should be fully inclusive.
Inclusion is not an add-on. It is a design principle.
For us, inclusion means:
Physical accessibility for wheelchair users and those with mobility impairments
Sensory-rich environments for children with autism and sensory processing needs
Cognitive accessibility through intuitive, understandable design
Opportunities for social interaction between children of all abilities
Intergenerational spaces that welcome families and carers
True inclusion ensures that individuals can play together – not separately.
We believe inclusive design benefits everyone, not only those with additional needs.
Our mission is bold but simple:
For all children and families to be able to enjoy play experiences together and those with special needs feel as included as anyone else. Making fully inclusive play the standard, not the exception.
We aim to:
Lead innovation in inclusive design
Continue investing in research and development
Collaborate with communities to create meaningful play experiences
Influence policy and industry standards
We do not believe in minimum compliance. We believe in raising expectations.
As a manufacturer, we recognise our responsibility extends beyond product design.
We are committed to:
Sustainable sourcing and responsible material selection
Long-lasting products that reduce environmental impact
Supporting communities through accessible design
Promoting awareness of inclusive play across the industry
Play shapes childhood. Inclusive play shapes society.
