Opened in April 2020, the new Dunes House at Folly Beach County Park was rebuilt with full accessibility in mind and currently represents CCPRC’s most accessible beach park. Although slowed by the pandemic, CCPRC has continued to offer a variety of inclusive programs including Inclusive Swim Nights, an upcoming Inclusive Silent Disco, and sponsorship of the local Special Olympics Kayak Team. Plans are also in the works for inclusive Santa visits at this year’s Holiday Festival of Lights. Offering programs and events for all populations has been a priority at CCPRC for years. CCPRC is proud of the steps the agency has taken to become more accessible and inclusive, and is excited to continue improving. Awareness of the concepts of accessibility is at an all-time high within CCPRC and the staff look forward to building on this momentum.
CCPRC is in the process of establishing an Accessibility Citizen’s Advisory Committee, which will provide valuable feedback to CCPRC staff about the services they believe are most needed by the public they represent.
Play doesn’t care what a body can or cannot do. Because play lives inside us. All of us. And as we grow older. As the world comes at us with you can’t or don’t or you shouldn’t or you won’t. We come back to what we know. That imagination will never fail us. To see the That words will never hurt us. We-Go-Round®, visit playlsi.com/we-go-round. That play will always shape us.
