How do I find a wheelchair accessible park or playground entrance?
Disabled people frequently come upon park entrances that are inaccessible, and have no signage in place directing them to the closest accessible entrance. This can be a frustrating and disheartening experience for our visitors. In order to ensure equal access for every park patron, the Parks Department has placed accessible signage in all small parks, playgrounds and parking lots. Now, when a person with a disability comes upon an inaccessible entrance there are signs with arrows directing them to an accessible entrance. All signage is in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. You can also find accessible entrance locations in all parks by visiting the interactive maps. Search for the park you are interested in. Click the button that is marked “Show Accessible Entrances.” Accessible entrances are marked in blue and inaccessible entrances are marked in red.
