I was out the other day at a few of our major parks with walking paths. I was going down the paths and each time my wheels would either get stuck or dig into the ground.
Have you ever been to a park and tried to go down it in your wheelchair? I can most likely tell you that you got stuck. My point is that the parks are there for the community and people with disabilities are part of the community. Parks should be accessible to all, may it be paths, etc.
So what can be done about it? We can make the community aware. You can your your voice! We speak out for those who can not speak out for themselves. We have to be a part of the change.
What changes do we need? Parks should be fully accessible, so that every one can enjoy themselves.
Paths do not have to be paved. Hard packed ground or grass would be accessible to wheelchairs.
America, let’s work toward equality. It should not matter if you have a disability, it should not matter what your age is, your sex or the color of your skin, everyone can be a part of this great world we live in.
Squeak those wheels until your hearts content!
