Albatera installs pictogram panels in its seven playgrounds
The panels combine ARASAAC symbols with easy-read text and were funded through a regional grant and municipal funds.
Albatera Town Council has installed a pictogram panel in each of the municipality’s seven playgrounds to make these spaces easier to understand and use. The project was presented on 27 October 2026.
The panels feature ARASAAC pictograms and easy-read text. According to the council, they may be particularly helpful for children with autism and other disabilities.
The panels were presented by Isabel Berná, Councillor for Parks and Gardens, and José Antonio Berná, Councillor for Social Services. The council says the installation was funded through a grant from the Generalitat Valenciana and municipal funds.
The measure adds to other improvements in Albatera’s play areas. In 2023, the council noted that Parque Unión Musical La Aurora has inclusive play equipment installed in 2016, which was repaired and maintained during the refurbishment of the playground.
In September 2025, the council also announced repair and improvement works at seven play areas, with a budget of €10,510, including VAT. The planned work included repairs to fences and play equipment and the replacement of artificial grass.
