In early 2010 the City received 6 Mobi-Chair®. Mobi-Chair® are amphibious wheelchairs that are beach and surf accessible. They not only allow someone with special needs to get out and enjoy the beach but also allow them to access the water.
The first Mobi-Mat® RecPathTM access in Brazil was deployed on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro by the NGO Adapt Surf Brazil with a project called Praia Acessivel (Accessible Beach) promoting enhanced surf accessibility and coastal preservation.
Mayor Cal Patterson and members of Wasaga Beach Town Council are pleased to announce the installation of ten 50 foot Mobi-Mat® RecPaths™ at Beach Areas 2 and 5 along the Wasaga Beach shoreline.
Mobility mats and beach pathways are solid surfaces installed on beaches. They are designed to enable people in wheelchairs or using walkers and baby strollers to get close to the water.
There are many mobi mats in the region, including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Clinch Park in Traverse City, Traverse City State Park, Whiting Park in Boyne City, and Petoskey State Park.
Mobi-Mat® RecPath™ allows land and project managers to take a fresh look at the possibilities of trail accessibility throughout the sandy American Southwest! Mobi-Mat® RecPath™ technology makes it easier for disabled persons to access the parks that we all love without compromising the integrity of the structures or harming nature.
DMS, Inc. teamed up with Elizabeth Wintenberger from Robert Moses Captree State Parks to bring ADA accessibility to the 2-Day Air Show at Jones Beach, NY. The show attracted well over 400,000 visitors. “Our corporate Chalet visitors could not say enough about Mobi-Mat ®”, stated Ms. Wintenberger, who added that she will be following up on how to purchase Mobi-Mat® for future shows.
The Friends has helped the Park become more ADA compliant. Hunting Island Campground received this all terrain wheelchair donated by the Friends of Hunting Island. With the newly completed handicap-equipped restroom and the installed mobi-mat, handicapped visitors will be able to enjoy camping and the beauty of Hunting Island beaches. Your support is making a difference!
I don’t think words can explain how I felt when I went to the beach today and saw my son, Peyton, riding down that mat. His smile and excitement cannot be described. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so, so much. We were supposed to leave for vacation today but delayed it a day just so he could have fun on the beach and “sand”. Thank you for all your wonderful hard work.
Having the Mobi-Mat installed from the Cement Public entry way to the ADA entrance of our platform made their accessibility an easy task, which is not always the case for beach events. Miami Project Foundation was extremely pleased with your product and want to look at having your product available at all of their Events. Once again, thank you for making this such a successful event for all of us.
