We were so excited to be able to donate an adaptive swing to Sheakley Park recently! There can be many reasons why someone is unable to use a typical swing. An adaptive swing helps with physical development and sensory integration. Even more, this provides another experience that ALL children get to play and swing with each other.

Hurray for inclusion AND accessibility!!

THANK YOU!

Choose2Include has decided that our first project with creating accessibility will be to work with surrounding city parks to create more sidewalks to restrooms and/or shelters. Most shelters have a large lip on the concrete pad that can make it difficult or even impossible for anyone using a wheelchair, walker, stroller, or even transporting coolers for parties or family reunions. On top of that, it can be difficult to utilize restrooms when they are at parks and may not be possible to use the restroom which can make it very difficult and frustrating.

What we need from you is help in identifying various parks that are needing assistance with accessibility to and from restrooms and shelters to parking as well. We are looking at improving parks in the surrounding areas in Chickasaw County.

If you gave us nominations and it isn’t this particular one, please don’t think we aren’t interested. We received so many great ideas and will pursue more as we go! Thank you for all your support as we begin this exciting adventure.
