Outdoor enthusiasts who need some physical assistance have a new way to explore Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Dakota County Parks is rolling out an all-terrain Action Trackchair, making the park's expansive trail network more inclusive and accessible for visitors of all abilities. Now, if you've been sidelined due to mobility issues, there's no reason to miss out on the beauty of Lebanon Hills.
The electric-powered Action Trackchair is designed to handle a variety of tough conditions, including unpaved trails, tree roots, and even the Minnesota winters. This resource, available at no cost, means a lot for individuals who previously might have found the park's terrain daunting. According to the Dakota County website, all you need to do is make a reservation and get a brief from the Lebanon Hills Visitor Center staff on where the best spots to hit the trails are.
Ensuring access to the great outdoors for those who may need additional support is a step in the right direction for public spaces. The park staff will handle the nitty-gritty of instructions and recommendations for their newest addition, allowing visitors to focus on enjoying their adventure in nature.
For those interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, further details and the reservation process can be found on the track chair webpage. The move by Dakota County Parks is part of a growing trend to make outdoor spaces more inclusive. Now, everyone has the chance to experience the trails, whether it's a sunny afternoon or a snowy day, because outdoor enjoyment shouldn't have any limitations.
