Roll and Stroll
GUB and OSMP hike for local families experiencing disabilities
|
|
On October 22, the City of Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks department, Parks and Rec Senior Planning Manager Mark Davison, and Growing Up Boulder, led a Roll and Stroll hike for local families and youth. Hosted on OSMP accessible trails, these hikes are specifically created for people who are in wheelchairs or are experiencing some sort of disability, and they are open to all families (read here for more details). As part of GUB's Ecohealing project, children and families shared what they love about nature, and also, where there are barriers to accessing nature. Feedback will help inform our collaborative "ecohealing" work.
