Accessible Parks in NC

It's the perfect weather for spending time outdoors. When one person in the family has wheels or needs an easy trail, it means looking for places that are easy to maneuver with a wheelchair, stroller or other special means.

Frank Smithwick, a Charlotte dad, researched local parks and found out that North Carolina has several. Here's the website: Find a Park and these are the accessible parks:

• Carolina Beach – Flytrap and Fitness Trails
