Luckily my fear of heights has gotten better as I've gotten older. But apparently I was an utterly fearless baby and only became an indoors child at around 2 after having a fever!
Anyway:...I don't know to be honest. I've only had issues with stairs etc since my mid twenties, so playgrounds aren't something whose poor accessibility has ever had much effect on me. Plus while I have issues with expending energy and climbing I'm not in a wheelchair or anything (and there's probably issues for blind kids etc that aren't coming to mind).
Hmm... Ramps is the obvious option. They would also probably be less scary to climb than those ladders :) Plus hard concrete or something(*) paths to the ramps, and making sure the surface of the wooden parts is smooth, wide, and sturdy enough to allow for wheelchairs.
(*)I know there's materials that are soft enough not to hurt too much if you fall on them but rigid enough for wheelchairs that they use in some playgrounds. Or they could use more wood!
