Some city parks require accessibility upgrades, with closer inspection anticipated in coming weeks.
City parks require some updates to meet requirements under the Americans with Disability Act, according to information given to the city Accessibility Advisory commission this week.
For example, Youngs Woods on Railway Street requires pathway, bench, mulch and parking signage improvements, said Joseph Gerardi, city codes administrator.
Newberry Park needs different kinds of mulch, benches, signs, and updates to intersections to have proper access.
A concrete pad that slopes at the park entrance does not meet accessibility law, Gerardi said.
Veterans Memorial Park on West Fourth Street and Wahoo Drive regularly make required updates and the volunteer veterans on the park commission will be notified of any needs such paths, parking stalls and signage.
