Medicine Hat – Last week, the City installed a Mobi-Mat at Echo Dale Regional Park swim lake to improve access to the water for those with mobility challenges.
“Whether you have a wheelchair, walker, or stroller, the Mobi-Mat will be an easy way to access the water,” said Scott Richter, business and innovation manager, City of Medicine Hat. “Everyone should have the same access to enjoy our parks and facilities.”
The Mobi-Mat is a portable, non-slip, roll-up beach access mat designed for people with disabilities, as well as elderly visitors or parents with strollers. It is made from 100 per cent recycled material.
“We’re always looking to improve our City spaces and increase accessibility; Echo Dale is no exception,” said Richter.
The Mobi-Mat will be available daily during lifeguarded hours at the beach from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Stay tuned for more updates and information on what’s new at Echo Dale Regional Park.
