Big shout out to Jena Cooper for utilizing one of our All Terrain Wheelchairs! While recovering from an ACL injury to her knee, Jena used one of our chairs to get around on her farm for a few days. See her video here:

The Licking Park District hopes that by providing All-Terrain Wheelchairs to individuals with lower body challenges, they will be able to more easily experience nature, go on hikes with friends and family, and participate in programs offered in a park or on a trail. Experiences like these lead to nature education, relaxation, socialization, and exercise. Simply put, we want to change some lives!

The GRIT Freedom Chair is an All-Terrain Wheelchair (A.T.W.) designed to tackle natural surface trails, grass, tree roots and uneven terrain. The A.T.W. is a manual chair, equipped with levers that make the chair easier to propel, so persons can get the leverage they need to conquer obstacles. The chair also has push bars so that a friend or family member can provide some assistance if necessary. The A.T.W. has a rugged 3-wheeled frame, which keeps the user stable and in control. Mountain bike tires are able to easily handle rough terrain. The chair also has a comfortable seat and footrests. In addition, the GRIT Freedom Chair disassembles and can fit into the trunk of a small car.
