Wheelchair-Accessible Walkway to the Gazebo
The gazebo is where families gather for a service, and where people sit when they come to visit. Right now the only way to reach it is across the lawn, which rules it out for anyone using a wheelchair or a walker, and makes it hard going after rain.
What we picture is a four-foot-wide concrete walkway, about 150 feet, from the parking area out to the gazebo. Concrete rather than gravel, because gravel is not truly accessible for a wheelchair or a walker. It would also include a small concrete pad north of the gazebo for the ash area.
It is a plain, practical idea. It would simply mean that everyone who wants to sit with someone they love can get there.
What it would take:
- Concrete, roughly 150 feet of four-foot walk
- Forming and finishing, the labor to form, pour and finish it
- Site prep, grading the route and a base underneath
- A small pad north of the gazebo for the ash area, about 10 by 20 feet
- Gravel or fill for the base
This one is on our wish list, and we would love to see it happen one day.
This is something we'd love to do one day. We're not asking for anything — we'd just like to know if it's something you'd want to be part of when the time comes, whether that's materials, work, or support. If so, we'd love to hear from you.
