Our Inaugural Project
Donors can support the Ohio State Parks Foundation’s inaugural project: improving access throughout the park system and fostering more inclusive environments for recreation.
Public spaces are for everyone. Donors can help to ensure all visitors feel welcome with funds to:
- Provide all-terrain wheelchairs specially designed for the safe navigation of uneven surfaces, equipping everyone to explore the parks’ trails safely
- Add safety features and enhancements to trails for visitors, such as braille signs, physical aids, and sensory displays focused on touch, sound, and smell.
- Offer accessible launch ramps, kayaks, and accessories for waterways, to equip individuals with limited mobility to safely access the water.
