Are there wheelchairs available for rent at the Tidal Basin?
The National Park Service has a limited supply of wheelchairs available for rent at no charge. Wheelchairs may be checked-out from either the World War II Memorial or the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial. Visitors can sign out an available wheel chair via first come first served basis by leaving a form of ID (i.e. drivers license) but the wheelchairs must remain at that memorial site. They are not permitted to be used around the mall. Upon return of the wheelchair to the site from which they were borrowed, their ID will be returned.
