Blind skateboarder creates 'world-first' adaptive skatepark: 'I've never had a place where I can skate with full confidence'

About seven years ago, he started dreaming of creating the world’s first adaptive skatepark right in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan.

Finally, the park is a reality.

Called “The Ranch,” the 5,000-square-foot skatepark is completely accessible, allowing both seasoned low-vision boarders to take it for a spin and newcomers to the sport to feel welcome.



Everyone should have access to opportunities for physical activity and creativity.

AWESOME!

That is so incredibly great to read about. Even though I'll never NEED it, and am about as likely to go to a skate park as I am to go to a serpentarium, the very EXISTENCE of an accessible skate park makes me more hopeful about the future!
