All Terrain Trackchair now available for use!
All Terrain Trackchair Project
For 2026, thanks to help from our sponsors, we raised funds to donate the All Terrain Chair (ATC) shown here to FC Parks & Recreation. The new ATC will support independence and togetherness, allowing for a more inclusive park experience for those in need of mobility assistance.
1st Trackchair is AVAILABLE for use!
The "Wheels in the Wild" program is now open at Sawnee Mountain Preserve!
The track chair opens up the great outdoors and healthier lifestyles for more individuals and families.
2nd Trackchair is in the works
We are currently raising funds to donate a second ATC that is more specifically designed to fit children/smaller framed persons. We hope to see multiple vehicles in parks throughout Forsyth County someday. Help us, help more people of all ages and physical abilities discover parks in Forsyth County. Donate towards a second chair now!
