Martial Cottle Park

-->
The planners of this beautiful park made sure that it was accessible to everyone.  It has picnic areas (some require reservations), a playground, a large grassy area, and a paved trail that loops around the park.  The paved trail is multi-use – hikers, bicycles, runners, strollers, wheelchairs, and dog-friendly (doggy bags are provided). The visitor center showcases the history of Marital Cottle Family Ranch.  One of the interesting things to see is the farmland that the trail encompasses. Organic farmers grow produce which will be for sale to the public.

There isn’t much shade on the trail, so during hot days, it’s best to come in the morning or late afternoon.  With two accessible parking areas, both with accessible restrooms, you can relax and enjoy a meal at wheelchair-friendly picnic tables.  Being a wheelchair user, I found the park to be very accessible. 

Trail rating – Easy
Trail Surface – Two-lane, paved
Trail length - 2.4 miles (Loop around the park, starting from the parking lot)

I just read your article and found it very motivational for those who are disabled. Well, disability doesn't mean that you should restrict yourself to the premises of your home but now with the help of electric wheelchairs you can easily move around to different places without someone's help. If someone is looking to buy a new electric wheelchair then it is recommended to check this list of electric wheelchairs. I bet you will find the best one for your needs on this link.
