Hi all I'm a park planner for the Parks Dept of Columbia, MO. The city
is in the process of developing a 110 acre park that includes a 10
acre lake. We're designing in several kayak/boating features. One is a
"kayak lesson" area, basically a submerged concrete pad for the
instructor to stand in the water next to the student.
Another feature we want to include though is a put-in for
non-motorized boats. The put-in will not be accessible by vehicles so
all boats using it will be carried in. We're talking kayaks, canoes
and small jon boats.
welcome.
How refreshing - someone who asks rather than assumes - As someone who
works with disabled canoeists in the UK we have many difficulties in
access. We have many more problems getting people to/from and into
canoes than we have teaching and coaching. May I respectfully request
that you make contact with people working in this sector when planning/
designing - I am sure the input will be worthwhile for all abilities.
