Wheelchair swing is suited for power chair users
I am really enjoying working with council lately, So our Northland based charity Children with Disability NZ is achieving great things.
We are part funding a wheelchair swing for Waipu park in Northland. I wanted to make sure the swing we part funded was suitable so I reached out to the playground supplier.
I needed to know just how inclusive the swing would be.
I have received a very positive reply from the supplier on the specs for the swing we are part funding as below.
"Wheelchair swing for Waipu park.
There is no harness or trained staff required to operate the unit.
The weight limit is 2000kg.
Yes, the swing is suitable for power chairs. You can see from the video users will need to pull the rope to create movement"
Children with Disability NZ is connecting with the right people.
I look forward to a good relationship with this and other playground providers.
We want this idea of inclusive playgrounds to go New Zealand wide we are going to make it happen.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
