Wheelchair Swings

Since it is not hot during the day in central Florida in the winter, this is a great time of year for kids to go to a play outside. One of the features of an accessible playground is a wheelchair swing. The wheelchair swing allows a child to feel the sensation of swinging while sitting in his or wheelchair. According to a video that has gone viral on Facebook, Creekmore Park in Fort Smith, Arkansas, is one of the parks in the United States with a wheelchair swing. Joy could clearly be seen on the face of Seth Allen while he was being pushed on the swing. Hopefully, wheelchair swings will be added to more playgrounds.
