Located in Bowie, MD, USA, Opportunity Park is a
fully accessible playground experience for children of all abilities. The
playground features typical slides and climbing equipment, but also has
activites that can be enjoyed whether the user is standing up or sitting in a
wheelchair. The playground equipment is fully ramped, so that children with
disabilities (and parents with disabilities, too) can be fully integrated into
the playground experience.
Allen Pond is a fully stocked fishing pond with paddle boats,
rowboats, and canoes available for rent. The fishing pier is
wheelchair-accessible. A wheelchair-accessible path runs the full length of
the pond, making it possible for wheelchair users to experience all park
features to the fullest extent. At right, Trish and Diana feed the ducks
together.
Opportunity Park was made possible by community support.
Non-profit and civic organizations all contributed to making the park fully
accessible. In addition, individuals and groups donated "bricks" in the walkway
to help fund the project. Here's ours--it proudly proclams, "YES I
CAN!"
A Day at the Park (or should we say, "Three 'DAYS' at the
Park?")
