National Parks seeks SCI community's input for improving access at Nov. 4 event

Our friend and one of the biggest outdoor enthusiasts, Bonnie Lewkowicz, shared with us news of a Nov. 4th public forum on access of Bay Area National Parks hosted by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area with support from BORP & Wheelchair Traveling. The purpose of this forum is to seek important feedback from persons with disabilities, and in particular wheelchair users, on how to continue with the Parks Service’s efforts to make the parks more accessible.

The event is from Noon to 4 p.m. and will feature a 1 p.m. presentation on the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Point Reyes National Seashore and Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. It will be followed by an information fair from 2-4 p.m. where you can sign up for ranger-led programs and get your “America the Beautiful” Access Passes. Refreshments will also be provided.

For more information and to pre-register, contact: Richard De La O at (415) 561-4958 or by e-mail at GOGA_Accessibility@nps.gov. The Ed Roberts Campus is located at 3075 Adeline St. in Berkeley.
