Blue Island Enhances Accessibility at Cal-Sag Waterpark, Promoting Inclusion
Blue Island has unveiled new accessibility features at the Cal-Sag waterpark, making it more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. The improvements include a ramp, a retaining wall, and braille signs, allowing people with visual impairments and other disabilities to access the park's amenities, such as waterfalls, picnic areas, and educational opportunities focused on water quality. The park, originally built in the early 1990s to improve water quality and fish populations, has become a popular community space. The enhancements were a collaborative effort involving the Progress Center for Independent Living, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, and local organizations. These changes aim to make the park a welcoming space for all residents, regardless of their physical abilities.
