Arkansas State Parks is launching a new initiative to enhance accessibility across its properties with the unveiling of state-of-the-art accessibility equipment. Through a partnership with Accessibility Across Arkansas, Logoly State Park at Magnolia introduced on Friday an all-terrain wheelchair designed to help individuals with mobility challenges experience the natural beauty of Arkansas’ State Parks.
These innovative Trackchairs, equipped with durable tracks instead of wheels, are designed to navigate rough terrain, gravel paths, and natural trails, making Arkansas’ scenic landscapes more accessible. The first Trackchair at Logoly State Park will allow individuals to explore trails previously inaccessible to those with mobility challenges.
This initiative was made possible through a partnership with Accessibility Across Arkansas, a non-profit organization focused on improving accessibility and inclusivity throughout the state. Their support and expertise have been key in providing these Trackchairs for free use by individuals with mobility limitations.
Visitors can reserve the Trackchairs in advance on Accessibility Across Arkansas’s website. Reservations must be made 48 hours in advance.
