A Picnic Area Everyone Will Enjoy
Both picnic areas, in 1515 (our sister building) and 1535, are accessible.
On the 1515 side, the grade level access of the two new tables adds to accessibility
On the 1535 side, there is a natural ramp with a slope down to the area, beside the white wall
In these areas, the new picnic tables will be accessible. They work for baby strollers, walkers with a fold down seat, or a personal lawn chair.
