Project Gallery
Mooney's Bay Park beachgoers now have a wheelchair accessible path with Beachrings2.
Beachrings2's textured surface provides just the right amount of friction for easy travel and grip.
Hand propelled and electric wheelchair wheels have no problem going across the Beachrings2 mats.
A beachgoer makes it 80% of the way to the water on Beachrings2 and opts to go the rest on sand.
This Beachrings2 path is three tiles wide for 47.25 inches (1.2 meters) wide.
