A new accessibility ramp is coming to a community pool in Welland.
The city has received a $100,000 grant from the Enabling Accessibility Fund to pay for the construction of the Maple Park Pool Ramp.
“Removing barriers for persons with disabilities continues to be a priority for the city,” said Rob Axiak, director of community services.
“A ramp at Maple Park Pool is a necessary step to enable all residents of Welland to enjoy what the facility has to offer.”
Construction on the accessibility ramp is underway, with a projected opening for this summer.
Maple Park Pool is located at 512 South Pelham Road.
