Dog Park accessibility opposite the Sam Smith Powerhouse.

DASSP has followed up with Jorge, from Toronto Parks, on this important issue (please see our earlier post).

The dog park remains largely inaccessible to our members in wheelchairs (both manual and power) due to the uneven tree roots and post rain mud and mire.

Please stay tuned.  We are hoping to have this sorted or at least an update before the autumn rainy season.

Making the SSP Dog Park accessible for Wheelchair and Elderly dog owners

DASSP has made an application with Toronto Parks to make the Dog Park, just west of the Powerhouse, accessible and inclusive to all dog owners, and their wonderful dogs!

As you can see from the photo below, the muddy (after rain), uneven and exposed tree rooted terrain is unsuitable for walking, mobility impaired elderly, as well as manual/power wheelchairs and scooters. 

This remediation is long overdue and hopefully will be corrected in an urgent and timely manner. Please stay tuned...
