Huntsville, AL

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: Park enhancements

Description: Huntsville Botanical Garden addressed accessibility barriers that made it difficult for older adults and visitors with mobility challenges to comfortably explore its large outdoor spaces. The project added mobility scooters and strategically placed benches, reducing physical strain and allowing visitors to move at their own pace and rest as needed. Volunteers, many of them older adults, helped implement the improvements and informed guests about the new options. During a busy holiday light event, the availability of mobility scooters allowed guests with limited mobility to fully experience the displays when other transportation options were unavailable.
