New trackchair at potato creek state park

New trackchair at potato creek state park


By Andi Anderson

Wheelchair users and guests with mobility disabilities can now explore more challenging trails at Potato Creek State Park thanks to a new trackchair. The chair can be borrowed from the park’s nature center.

The addition of the new trackchair brings the total number of trackchairs available for outdoor use at Indiana state park properties to 15. Other state parks with trackchairs include Chain O’Lakes, Charlestown, Fort Harrison, Mounds, O’Bannon Woods, Pokagon, and Spring Mill state parks and Salamonie Lake. Indiana Dunes has four trackchairs, and McCormick’s Creek has two.

The new chair at Potato Creek was made possible by a grant from Ford’s Bronco Wild Fund. The funds for these chairs and other projects come from a portion of the profits from every Bronco® model sold.

The grants were coordinated through the America’s State Parks Foundation, a national nonprofit arm of America’s State Parks, which supports and promotes state park systems and their leadership across the country. Indiana was one of 18 states awarded funds for these chairs.
