Liberty Swing
- Attachments
The Liberty Swing is an accessible swing for children who use a wheelchair, providing the opportunity for the whole family to experience the joy of having a swing in the park. It is located in the beautiful surroundings of the play area at Wireless Hill, Booragoon.
The swing is a plastic moulded capsule with a chest strap and lock-in devices for wheelchairs. It is accessed via a movable ramp, so wheelchairs can be manoeuvred into and out of the swing easily. The swing also contains an internal pop-out seat for people who may not use a wheelchair, but who still need support of the seatbelt, or access to the swing by wheelchair. As in all swings, friends and family join in with pushing the Liberty Swing and the enjoyment begins.
As the swing utlises a strap and ramp that are accessed with a key (for safety reasons), collections can be made from the following:
