2010 ADA Advisory 206.2.2,
and 2016 CBC 11B-206.2.18 says "An accessible route shall be provided to the boundary of each area of sport activity". What does "boundary" imply?
For example, I am designing a soccer field at a school. The field consists of both the striped "in bounds are" and the "out of bounds" area where part of the players throw the ball in. I believe that the "out of bounds" is part of the play area, and I intend to have my paved path-of-travel stop about 7'-6" away from the striped boundary of the field. Is that OK?
Second question: where my POT paving stops, must I provide access onto the field itself, or only onto the boundary (edge of concrete)? My typical detail is that the field grass is 1" lower than the paving. Do I need to change this to only 1/4" elevation difference? (Obviously the field itself does not have an accessible surface.)
