Accessible Pathway Renewal Complete!

Hello! Sarah here, reporting from the Therapeutic Gardens at GPC. I'm pleased to share that the pathways around the gardens here have been renovated so they are once again smooth. Farmers on 57th built these gardens in 2009, and the pathways were last renewed in 2015. In 2019 we noticed they were getting reallllly bumpy, and some residents felt uncomfortable and unsafe when going around the gardens in their wheelchairs. It wasn't exactly an easy job, with our accessible surface being heavy rubber mats that don't shift when wheelchairs grip them. They were all lifted up, the ground re-leveled, and the mats were returned. And once again the paths were safe for all!
