Thank you to Coeur d'Alene Press for attending our Wheelchair Obstacle Course event. It was great to have City of Post Falls staff come out.
"Post Falls City Engineer Rob Palus completes the Wheelchair Obstacle Course to applause by fellow participants and spectators on Thursday. The course was designed by engineering students from Washington State University and brought to White Pine Park by the Disability Action Center NW.
Karenann Krueger angles herself to get up the ramp of a new obstacle course designed to create challenges that mimic those wheelchair users frequently. Krueger has to counterbalance since she has a double leg amputation in order to safely make her way up the ramp of the Wheelchair Obstacle Course from the Disability Action Center NW. Community members and city staff took part in a disability awareness event Thursday at White Pine Park in Post Falls."
