Neftaly: Accessibility and Universal Design Principles in Park Planning

At Neftaly, we believe that parks should be welcoming and usable by everyone—regardless of age, ability, or background. That’s why we prioritize accessibility and universal design principles in every stage of park planning and development.

Key Elements of Neftaly’s Approach:

• Barrier-Free Access
  Smooth, wide pathways; ramps; and entrances designed to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, and mobility aids.
• Inclusive Amenities
  Accessible restrooms, seating areas, playgrounds, and fitness equipment that can be used by people with diverse abilities.
• Clear Signage and Wayfinding
  Easy-to-read signs with braille, pictograms, and high-contrast colors to assist all visitors in navigating park spaces confidently.
• Sensory-Friendly Features
  Quiet zones, tactile elements, and varied lighting to support individuals with sensory sensitivities.
• Community Engagement
  Collaborating with disability advocates and diverse user groups to ensure designs meet real-world needs.
• Compliance and Beyond
  Meeting or exceeding ADA standards and embracing best practices to create truly inclusive environments.

By embedding universal design into park planning, Neftaly ensures that every visitor can enjoy the physical, social, and emotional benefits that parks offer.
