Winchester Park is part of the Jordan River Nature Path, the accessibility is for that path. Every part of Park needs to have public access to public facilities the bathroom...etc, every inch of the park does not need to be accessible. The Jordan River Trail is over 30 miles long, the sun looks the same to me on every part of it I frequent. The point is the part of the park you set up does not have disabled access from that nature path. Medically speaking a person in a manual wheelchair has a higher functional ability than a person in a powerchair. To suggest because a manual chair user has access that means a powerchair does, is a statement based on ignorance. You are TOTALLY missing the point as is Siegfried who apparently thinks he the self appointed dictator of SLAS. What is so sacred about Winchester Park for Sun viewing? What Siegfried has said is that not having access to an advertised public event is my problem and the sponsoring organization. Perhaps I should have a conversation my County Representative. Erik
Is that your solution, or just another problem? If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.
SLAS does a lot to provide access. I agree with what Siegfried said. SLAS is not responsible for making Winchester Park ADA compliant. That is the county's responsibility. Perhaps you could work with the county to implement a solution, not just complain that there is not access.

Brent,
, I have offered a simple solution many times and been ignored. This thread was started because Sig asked for an example. Bottom line is SLAS hold their Sun Parties at a venue that is not accessible to all. If I wanted to cause a real problem I could. Erik
Please find solutions, not problems.
