ADA Wheelchair Swing

People take for granted life's simplest pleasures a daily basis. For instance, when you take your children to the park and watch them play. The thought probably never crosses your mind how wonderful something as small as swinging on a swingset is for them. Many kids and even adults in our community have never been able to understand the excitement of feeling the wind rush around you while on a swing. With the help of the Brazil City Parks Board, I am hoping to change that. I recently proposed installing an ADA wheelchair accessible swing to the beautiful Forest Park. The board members welcomed the idea with open arms. They shared my enthusiasm in hoping to provide that thrill to those bound to a wheelchair. Through much research I found the perfect swing, that accommodates not only children, but adults. The swing is specially designed to pull the wheelchair onto it and lock into position making it a safe for all to enjoy. The board blew me out of the water when they offered to pay for the swing if I would raise the funds for the installation. I am hoping to make the area wheelchair friendly with not only the swing, but an extended accessible picnic bench. This has been an aspiration of mine, and I am thrilled to see the wheels in motion. All donations will be used in the installation, concrete walk way/base for the swing, and the accessible picnic table. Please help me in making Forest Park an even better place for the kids (and young at heart) to spend these beautiful Indiana days.
