Accessible Skateparks Webinar
Accessible Skateparks WebinarOn February 19, 2021, Skateistan's Goodpush Alliance co-hosted a free webinar on Accessible Skateparks, together with Drop In e.V. and SEHstern e.V.! Together with six amazing panelists, we talked about adaptive skateparks as well as sharing the main findings of the Accessible Skatepark Survey that we ran last year. The panelists discussed skatepark usage and design so that skateparks can be made more accessible for everyone, particularly skatepark users with disabilities. This was an interesting session for anyone looking to make their skateparks and/or skate programs more inclusive.
