Lexington Parks & Recreation is launching a pilot program for an Action Trackchair, allowing for more inclusive access to unpaved trails at natural area parks. The pilot program is expected to begin Spring 2025 at Raven Run Nature Sanctuary and is the first of its kind in Kentucky.
“Accessibility is one of our top priorities for our city and our park system,” said Mayor Linda Gorton. “While we are constantly making strides to make facilities and greenspaces more accessible, there has always been a challenge with unpaved nature trails. Launching this program allows more people to be able to experience nature and its many benefits.”
The pilot program will utilize the STS model by Action Trackchair, a company specializing in all-terrain wheelchairs. Funding to launch the pilot program was provided by the Urban County Council, who worked with Lexington Parks & Recreation on the initiative.
