Tennessee State Parks has added 10 new all-terrain wheelchairs. With the addition, 22 parks now offer chairs free of charge to enhance accessibility for those with limited mobility.

Juliet, Tennessee, to source these chairs. “At Sunrise Medical, we understand that the world is not flat, and with our Magic Mobility power chairs, we believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should have the opportunity to explore Tennessee’s incredible state parks,” said Larry Jackson, president of Sunrise Medical North America.
