The present teachings include techniques for lifting a user (e.g., a person having an injury or a physical disability) onto playground equipment. One such technique includes coupling a lifting device to playground equipment and positioning a user on a first platform of the lifting device. Sub-platforms of the lifting device may be disposed between the first platform and an elevated engagement area of the playground equipment, where the sub-platforms define stairs between the first platform and the engagement area. An actuator may move the first platform upward toward the engagement area along a z-axis, and, either via the actuator or movement of the first platform, each of the plurality of sub-platforms may also move along the z-axis to form a substantially planar pathway between the first platform and the playground equipment at the elevated height.
