South Suburban Parks and Recreation
\n<\/strong>South Platte Park, Littleton – This riverside park has lots to offer the disabled nature lover.
\n \u00a0The paved Mary Carter Greenway<\/a><\/span> multi-use trail runs 8 miles along the South Platte River.\u00a0 Parallel to the concrete bike trail is a crusher fines side path that is meant for pedestrians and wheelchairs.\u00a0 Snow melts off the concrete sooner than from the crusher fines so winter wheelchair users might prefer the pavement although that is discouraged. \u00a0\u00a0Many hard natural surface side trails within the park take you to the river\u2019s edge and through lovely stands of trees and other streamside vegetation.\u00a0\u00a0 There are waterfowl, raptors, deer, coyotes and other wildlife.\u00a0 Here is their website<\/a>.
\n<\/span>Park staff (303-730-1022) are very helpful and say that most of their nature programs can accommodate disabled participants.\u00a0\u00a0 The Colorado Center for the Blind<\/a> have frequent field trips here.<\/p>\n
