About Sensory Park

 

A sensory park, as the name implies, focuses on features that attract multiple senses of an individual. These are specialized parks for all kinds of visitors with special emphasis on children with disabilities. The purpose of such an initiative is to provide individual & combined sensory opportunities to the users who may not have had such an experience so far.

A sensory garden, for example, contains features that are accessible to the differently-abled individuals. These features include scented and edible plants, tactile sculptures and sculpted handrails, water features designed to make sound and play over the hands, textured touch-pads, magnifying-glass screens, Braille signage and audio induction loop descriptions. Depending on the user group, other provisions may further integrate sound and music, more centrally to combine the play needs of younger users with their respective sensory access.
