Thanks to a grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, an all-terrain Action Trackchair is available to the first person requesting use of the chair. Thanks to a grant from the CCBDD, a GRIT Freedom Chair is also available. An Action Trackchair and GRIT Freedom Chair are both designed to allow guests with disabilities to have access to a variety of trail terrain. Contact Cleveland Metroparks Outdoor Recreation at 216-341-1704 or email [email protected] to reserve the chair or discuss any disability related needs.
