Tennessee State Parks Unveil All-Terrain Wheelchair At Booker T. Washington State Park
Tennessee State Parks, the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy and the Ford Bronco Wild Fund today announced a new all-terrain wheelchair available at Booker T. Washington State Park in Hamilton County.
The announcement follows Gov. Bill Lee’s September statewide Conservation Tour, which featured a stop at Booker T. Washington to recognize the park’s accessibility improvements.
All-terrain wheelchairs are designed to easily traverse tough outdoor terrains, providing a means to reach areas of the park not suitable for a traditional wheelchair.
“As a physical therapist, I am thrilled to see Tennessee leading the way in creating opportunities for people of all levels of ability the access to experience the amazing outdoor beauty of our great state,” said State Senator Bo Watson.
