A disproportionate number of persons with disabilities live in developing countries, often marginalized and in extreme poverty. They face discrimination and barriers that restrict them from participating in society. About 10 to 12% of the total populations in Egypt are suffering from different types of disabilities. They face restrictions that prevent them from normal life, and then they lose their motivation for challenging their disabilities. Besides that, there are problems about accessing entertainment spaces to keep their positive energy. Architects have their role to help people with disabilities to enjoy accessible recreational spaces although their disabilities. The aim of this research is to determine strategies for design entertainment spaces which is accessible, provide an integration in community with different abilities in a safe pleasing environment for all. This research will analyse examples of inclusion in recreational spaces in deferent countries, study universal design strategies that are common in these examples, then with making comparison between international strategies and the requirements which are included in the Egyptian Code, Conclusion can be achieved as a step toward accessible recreational spaces for people with disabilities.
