Had a nice time at an open skate. Hopefully they consider getting "adult friendly ice-walkers."
My 70+ year old family member was using one of the plastic walkers, having a great time, then a staff member informed her that they don't allow adults to use them. We talked with another member who had previously okay'ed it. Not upset with any staff, policy is policy.
Nevertheless, at this point she was understandably embarrassed and felt like she was breaking a rule. Minutes later she turned in her skates and watched us skate from outside the rink. Pretty sad and non-inclusive moment that raises some ADA red flags.
Since this is a city program/park, is it appropriate to join a city hall meeting to share feedback about obtaining adult ice-walkers?
