Last autumn, the Parks Department installed a number of wheelchair friendly park benches near the eastern entrance to Sam Smith Park, at the end of Lakeshore Rd, in New Toronto.
The benches have an extended pad, wide enough for a wheelchair user to sit beside someone while facing the Park, looking out towards the lake. This wider pad is also useful for Seniors using their walker to sit in, making it easier to enjoy a conversation while sitting at the proper height for easy standing, upon departure.
Hats off to Jorge and his workmates from Toronto Parks and Recreation !
