Get ready to explore — Lexington Parks & Recreation is preparing to launch a pilot program for an Action Trackchair in spring 2025. This all-terrain wheelchair will come to Raven Run Nature Sanctuary where it will allow people with mobility needs to explore unpaved and natural trails.
Funding for the trackchair program was provided by the city’s Urban County Council as an effort to make green spaces more accessible. The device will also benefit the city’s Therapeutic Recreation program, which offers activities for locals with disabilities and special needs.
During the pilot program, the Parks & Recreation department will provide an ADA guide to help users and a map that shows which trails are accessible with the chair. The department hopes to use feedback from the program to further expand access to Lexington’s parks.
