I used this last week using my daughter’s disability. It made me absurdly sad because it’s yet another reminder that she’s going to live forever with what she has but eventually realized in practicality it makes so much sense.
For us, the parents, we never know if today is a good day for our daughter to go on a hike and often times will buy tickets to things we don’t or can’t use. Happened with sesame park and that was expensive.
I imagine with other disabilities it’s the same thing or similar. Being blind or in a wheelchair (this park had paved paths) sometimes means having to turn around if external or internal conditions aren’t right. Combined with the fact that earning potential probably drops with many severe disabilities and you can imagine these spaces being rarely visited by an entire group.
