The City of Jacksonville’s Disabled Services Division with the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department and Brooks Rehabilitation unveiled the first of three adaptive kayak launches at Hanna Park. The other two will be in Mandarin Park and Bethesda Park. What a great way for everybody to get out and enjoy our parks. “It is all about inclusion.”
