[Type of recreation element] Picnic areas and elements : pavilions, picnic tables, grills, fire rings, water pumps, etc.
- all accessible design elements, all tables, grills, fire rings, water pumps, etc. - all located on accessible routes - level routes onto pavilions with no changes of level from path to pavilion surface - wider routes & clear space with firm surface around all elements so someone with mobility limits can easily move around the element (table, grill, etc.) - a variety of table styles, some with clear sitting space on the side, some with extended table tops on the end - clear space all around each element so people can approach and use the grill, fire ring, etc. from the front, back and either side - grills you can lower/raise the cooking surface with one hand - raised fire building surfaces so you can place wood without learning too far over from a standing or seated position
