The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is developing an Accessible Parks Policy to guide how it can make national parks, and the services and experiences they offer, more accessible to everyone.
NPWS is working with a number of disability sector groups on the development of this policy, including Vision Australia and have asked for feedback about the types of experiences that people with disability have had in accessing national parks and other natural areas. If you would like to contribute to this conversation please answer the following questions:
- What experiences have you had accessing and using national parks or other natural areas (good, bad or ugly)?
- How could the experiences have been improved? Please feel free to share any photos, videos, social media posts or other information about these experiences.
- What are the three most important accessibility issues/problems/challenges that should be addressed by the NPWS policy?
Please provide as much detail as possible and if relevant, consider the ‘whole of journey’ related to your experience.
Please email your response to any or all of these questions to Susan Thompson at [email protected].
