Fund local authorities to build parks with wheelchair-accessible play equipment

Fund local authorities to build parks with wheelchair-accessible play equipment — 900 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We would like the Government to fund local authorities to build more parks with wheelchair-accessible equipment like wheelchair swings, wheelchair roundabouts, in-ground trampolines and lower basketball hoops so people with accessibility issues can play at the park.

Additional details

I am blind and have a wheelchair. I have 3 sisters who can walk, and I can’t. They get to play on the swings, slide and roundabout. I feel sad because my sisters get to play on the park. If the park had accessible equipment, I may be able to play too. There are lots of children who have wheelchairs who want to play at the park. They will feel happy if they get to play in the park.
