Dane County Parks has one All-Terrain Wheelchair (Action Trackchair®) available to check out and use in the Capital Springs Recreation Area. The chair is designed to help people of all ability levels access the outdoors.
The wheelchair is available to reserve May to October and will also be available at select volunteer and education program events.
Due to the battery life of the all-terrain wheelchair, reservations are limited to two hour timeslots. Reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance. Before making a reservation, the user is required to read the Dane County Parks All-Terrain Wheelchair User Guide.
Individuals between the ages of 12-17 can use the chair if they wear a helmet and have a guardian present. A guardian over 18 must make the reservation for the minor and sign a waiver.
Reservations can be made online using our online reservation system.
Check in at the Lussier Family Heritage Center to pick up the wheelchair. Arrive with appropriate gear (water, charged cell phone, snacks, equipment, etc.). Users are required to bring a fully charged cell phone for emergencies. You must arrive within 15 minutes of your reservation start time or the reservation will be canceled.
