Özet:

 This study examines the childrens playgrounds located in Aziz Duran Park Kent Park, which is established on the former site of the Agricultural Equipment Institution Factory in the Mithatpaşa neighborhood of Sakarya, Türkiye, in line with universal design principles. The research proceeds in four stages. In the first stage, a comprehensive literature review is carried out, and the study area is identified. In the second, field observations and on-site inspections are performed, accompanied by photographic documentation of outdoor elements such as entrances, ramps, stairs, walkways, and playgrounds. In the third stage, Aziz Duran Park is evaluated through 22 indicators based on universal design principles. The findings indicate that approximately 68 of the park complies with these principles, with 15 indicators deemed suitable and 7 not suitable. In the final stage, the study offers a set of recommendations aimed at addressing the identified deficiencies and enhancing the parks inclusivity and accessibility.

 Bu çalışmada, Türkiyenin Sakarya ili Mithatpaşa Mahallesinde bulunan eski Zirai Donatım Kurumu Fabrikası arazisine inşa edilen Aziz Duran Parkında Kent Park bulunan çocuk oyun alanlarını evrensel tasarım ilkelerine göre incelenmesi ve karşılaşılan sorunların tespit edilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma dört aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlk aşamada, konu ile ilgili literatür taraması yapılmış ve çalışma alanı seçilmiştir. İkinci aşamada, arazi çalışması ve yerinde incelemeler yapılarak dış mekân düzenlemeleri girişler, rampalar, merdivenler, yürüme yolları, çocuk oyun alanları vb. fotoğraflanmıştır. Üçüncü aşamada, evrensel tasarım ilkelerine göre oluşturulan 22 gösterge arasında 15 uygun ve 7 uygun değil işaretine sahip olan Aziz Duran Parkı, yaklaşık 68 oranında uygun bir park olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Son aşamada ise park için ortaya çıkan eksikliklere yönelik çeşitli öneriler getirilmiştir.
