More accessibility needed at our parks

The poor old wheelchair users and people with disabilities don’t seem to be getting much of a look in.

Many millions have been spent on upgrades to parks; Bouddi National Park, Leagues Club Park, Showground Rd and many others.

There is a suspension bridge in Strickland State Forest, a beautiful lookout at Mount Ettalong … and a coastal walk between Crackneck Point and Forresters Beach.

Some of these can be made more accessible in some areas.

Wheelchair users and the disabled and disadvantaged are missing out.

I know (they) don’t generate as much in tourism dollars, but what the heck – give them just a little bit more joy (so they can) share in some of the delights of able-bodied people.
