Inclusion and play are rights for all children to achieve integrated growth (United Nations, 2006. United Nations convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. Retrieved from https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/convention-on-the-rights-of-persons-with-disabilities/convention-on-the-rights-of-persons-with-disabilities-2.html, arts. 24, 30). Saudi Arabia has taken a clear position to advocate for children with disabilities to make these documented rights a reality. However, few inclusive playgrounds align with the research and the Saudi trends. Children who are not able to receive the full advantages of play due to having a disability that makes playgrounds inaccessible need to gain the attention of decisionmakers. This article focuses on Saudi Arabia as a case study of a country attempting to provide inclusive playgrounds. Saudi Vision 2030 calls to start where the other countries have ended. This article synergizes relevant experience from other countries to influence community developers. The article includes recommendations and resources regarding developing a process for planning inclusive playgrounds
