Key objectives for sustainability
The central objective of social dimensions of sustainable growth is correct distribution of opportunities between generations. A high level of employment and quality workplace, represents the relationship between economic and social dimension of sustainable growth. The inclusive parks intended for people with disabilities are few or nonexistent in some cities, although the number of beneficiary is pretty good. The sustainability is a solution to ensure that any decision taken will be friendly with the medium and will not have a negative impact on society. The children are more and more attracted of investigation and engagement regarding climate change and it s devasting effects, so we should encourage them to learn through exploration, both in school and non-formal mediums. For a child with mobility is easy to explore the nature regardless the context, but for children with disabilities is it necessary special and dotated places which offer them the opportunity to participate at actions and games intended for children. We want a better world with happy people, living together regardless social or fizical condition. We imagine a world in which every person with disabilities can stand on his own, with a minimum help from the others. In this way, we are increasing their motivation and quality of life, a special principle of sustainability. We believe that this project qualify in all the principles which represent the 3 pillars of sustainability and sustainable growth, being a project designed and projected on long term for society, for people, for improving the relationship between people with disabilities and including them in society. The environment will be in the advantage of it, and creating more green spaces in towns to achieve the requirements for disabled people and from the economic point of view, the costs are average, but the beneficiaries will have the most to gain from this project, beacause represents a large community.
Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
Aestetically, our intrusive park will integrate very good in that natural medium, promoting free time activities in nature and encourage the socialization. Our project will be very colourful to distinguish the objects better and create a visual equilibrium of park ’ s general perspective. Every colour is associated with an emotion, a reltative energy, that ’ s why the objects offered to children will be very colourful always. Grenn spaces will be distributed uniform and equipped with urban adapted furniture and wooden garden gazebo for little steps. Specific objects of the playground will respect the norms and they will be assembled by authorized person. The pedestrian alleys will be delimited by trees , flowers, benches and they will respect the necessary width for wheelchair ’s movement. Lighting scheme will highlight place ’s archeticture and will light all the accessible places, so that the community will be able to enjoy at any hour for a walk in the park. Since this about leisure time in nature, we will use sustainable and ecologicial materials, friendly with the environment, as much as possible. One of this material is the wood which comes from forest, trees, so the conditioned wooden furniture will get a perfect match with green space and decorative trees. To be fully functional and durable, will be use many iron elements. The iron can be recycled 100 %, it's the most recycler on the planet, so it is considered a sustainable material. More than this, the elemnts from the iron will be coloured to give life for the place. Our inclusive park will be one with elements of modern architecture, fit perfectly in nature, functional in order to satisfy needs of disabilities people anf which will respect legislation in force. Project for entertainment, relaxation and reconnection with the nature.
Key objectives for inclusion
The playground for disabled children aims to bring together with this minority and normal children. It is about an inlclusive park, that reunites under its coupon all the children, offering them the opportunity to play one each other in a friendly environment, regardless their capacity or their physical condition. Disabilities children's greatest desire is to integrate with the other children, to do the same activities as them, being accepted by them. On this principle is counting our project, of which main objective is bringing together all community. Each child will find its place feeling understood even if it is "different". The park will show the little people that there is a place for either and that, through cooperation, they can manage to do things that may be impossible for them to achieve on their own. Moreover, the park will have beneficial implications on the local Community along the way, as "fair" inclusion starts from early childhood. The earlier this happens, the greater the chances that people with disabilities will be fully integrated into the community. Typical children will be friends with those who suffer from any condition among the lullabies and other equipment, then being aware, including at maturity age, that people with disabilities are part of the same world as them, and thus their acceptance is the equivalent of normality. With the help of the project, we intend to take a small step toward strengthening a healthy and equalitarian society, a step that we consider to be extremely necessary given the slow speed with which the whole process is proceeding in the post-communist States. We believe that every child is special in its own way, and deserves a place where he can relax through the game and feel the joy of age. Inclusion starts primarily from the children's park, where everyone must have equal opportunities to practice and improve their skills.

Innovative character
Our project aims to build an inclusive theme park for people with special needs, which is located in an area of attraction and Community interest by achieving this inclusive park we want to use environment friendly elements that increase the life of the environment. As it concerns the provision of a park with specific equipment, it will be environmentally friendly, will not generate pollution, and as many recyclable elements will be used to build the park, helping to re-introduce recyclable waste into the circuit. From an educational perspective, serving several categories of children, being a public space and aimed at children, we have identified the opportunity to stimulate and learn the principles of sustainability. In the open air, there will be education activities for selective collection, seminars on the principles for reducing pollution and its impact on mankind, and seminars on the importance of re-introduction of recycled waste into the economic cycle. As regards esthetics, the project aims at fitting in harmony with the nature of the park by placing urban furniture with innovative design and by placing natural elements made of trees, plants, shrubs, moss and other types of “green furniture”. Esthetics is an essential element because the construction of the inclusive park will be carried out in an existing park of the city which represents one of the most important attractions at Community level in terms of recreation, being the most important park of the city, visited by tourists included. Inclusion could be the most important element achieved by creating and equipping this inclusive park, as it will offer equal opportunities for children with disabilities to enjoy childhood alongside other children with similar needs or children with physical normality. The park will highlight both diversity and equality. The park will be the foundation statue of the diversity and equality of the children from Oradea Municipality.
