We all want to start the year off well and it’s greatly important that we get out and about even in the coldest months of the year. It’s easy to shy away indoors but fresh air releases serotonin, is good for the lungs and improves the cell function in your body. There are a variety of outdoor accessible places that are close to most of us and a few things to think about to make sure you stay safe outdoors.
Places to visit
Parks and outdoor spaces are ideal places that are usually accessible to wheelchairs and scooters with wide paths and ramps. Many larger parks have large car parks and toilet facilities, ponds, wonderful flowers and sometimes even monuments of interest to keep you busy. The park can be a great place to go in the winter months as they tend to be quieter too– just remember to wrap up warm!
Have you ever taken the time to explore your local city or town? Often, we disregard our local area, it tends to be known for doing the shopping or visiting the doctor’s surgery but there can be many interesting places so close to home. If your pavements and paths locally are wheelchair friendly you could explore local history or find a little hidden café you didn’t know about. If you live in a larger town or city, trying out all the touristy things that would normally be extremely busy in the warmer months is a great idea when getting around in a scooter or wheelchair.
