The Inclusive Play And Learn (IPAL) preschool is Pleasanton’s first inclusive preschool for children with and without disabilities. The IPAL play yard was a unique modernization project that creates a safe, accessible playground for students. Site gradation and accessibility were improved between the classroom courtyard and lower area of the playground making it usable for all levels of mobility. A sensory path with various pavers and “crayon rail” along the playground perimeter allows for safe exploration. A variety of active and passive zones include a new play structure, slide, climbing equipment, interactive musical instruments, sensory/tactile play elements, drawing panels, and quiet seating areas. The landscape design features include a combination of authentic and artificial turf, play bark, and plants with sensory attributes – scent, texture, and color.
