Immersive Nature Experiences Regardless of Mobility Challenges!
Lime Hollow Nature Center is just the 2nd nature center in all of NY State to offer the Action TrackChair, a battery-powered, all terrain “wheelchair” designed to make trails accessible for people with mobility challenges. The tracks make traversing uneven terrain simple and take people deep onto Lime Hollow’s trails which meander through 600 acres of forests, fields, streams, and unique geological features.
Safety features include: four-point harness and lap belt, the chair tilts to adjust the user's center of gravity when going up or down slopes, has variable speeds, and can be controlled either by the person using the chair or by a companion.
Participants are welcome to use the Action TrackChair FREE-OF-CHARGE on many of Lime Hollow’s trails!
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED (Weekend Reservation will begin ASAP)
To ensure that the TrackChair is available - RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED a least 24 hours prior to intended use. All participants must be accompanied by a companion for the duration of the hike, sign a waiver and an acknowledgement of training prior to hiking.
Please note: if you are an attendant bringing a client to use the TrackChair, a waiver form must be signed by the participants legal guardian.
“Our individuals who use wheelchairs now have the opportunity to go further into nature to explore the peace and serenity that most have never had the opportunity to do! We are able to explore more trails with ease and the chair allows our individuals to move around independently.”
