Accessibility Across Arkansas Reservations
Arkansas State Parks is committed to expanding accessibility across the state. In 2024, we launched the Trackchair program at Logoly State Park, making it our first park to offer this service. We are also excited to announce plans to introduce the Trackchair program at Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area before the end of 2025, furthering our mission to make outdoor recreation accessible to all.
Media representatives are encouraged to attend, capture compelling footage of the Trackchair in use and engage with individuals whose outdoor experiences have been transformed by this initiative.
