Arkansas State Parks recently showcased the transformative impact of its Trackchair initiative at an exclusive Media Field Trip at Pinnacle Mountain State Park.

The Trackchair initiative allows infirm and disabled users to fully explore nation park terrain safely.

This event offered a hands-on opportunity to see the Trackchair in action, meet users who benefit from this technology, and hear about the importance of accessibility in outdoor recreation.

Arkansas State Parks says it is committed to expanding accessibility across the state.

In 2024, it launched the Trackchair program at Logoly State Park, making it yje first park to offer this service.

There are plans to introduce the Trackchair program at Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area before the end of 2025.
