Abstract
In 2008, the National Center on Accessibility (NCA) at Indiana University initiated a longitudinal study of playground surfaces with research funding by the U.S. Access Board. The purpose of this longitudinal study is to evaluate a variety of playground surfaces, their ability to meet accessibility requirements, their costs upon initial installation and maintenance over 3-5years. The following information is a summary of year one findings. Data collection for the longitudinal study is scheduled to continue through September 2012, with a comprehensive report of findings to follow.
