Visitors to Indiana State Parks who have limited mobility now have a new, free resource to help them get outdoors and explore. State-of-the-art track chairs are being added to every Indiana State Park across the state.
A track chair is an all-terrain, electric-powered wheelchair that helps people with limited mobility safely explore rugged, off-road environments.
Purchase of 45 track chairs was made possible by $1 million in funding from Lilly Endowment Inc. Indiana is now the national leader among state parks for the number of track chairs available!
The track chairs will be distributed statewide for use at each Indiana State Park and Indiana State Park Inn. The new chairs supplement the 13 powered mobility chairs that are currently available at Indiana State Parks.
This investment makes Indiana the current national leader in the availability of track chairs at state parks, with a greater number of chairs than any other state park system in the country.
Reminder, all visitors have free admission to State Parks on May 3.
