The City of Nelson is proud to announce improved accessibility at Rotary Lakeside Park, thanks to the arrival of two pieces of adaptive mobility equipment now available at the Paddle Rental Centre: a Mobi floating wheelchair and an All-Terrain beach wheelchair. These additions are complemented by the recent installation of a Mobi mat, offering safe and stable access across the sand to the shoreline.
Beginning June 12, 2025, the equipment will be available for free public use during Paddle Centre hours: 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Thursday through Monday, continuing through to Labour Day weekend.
These improvements align with the City’s ongoing efforts to foster inclusive, barrier-free recreation opportunities for all residents and visitors.
The City would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Nelson Rotary Club for their continued support and dedication to community projects. Their contributions have been instrumental in making Rotary Lakeside Park a more accessible and welcoming space for everyone.
