The teenager
10 . Julie Kenerson loved taking her two sons Lukas and his brother Jake who used a wheelchair due to his rare illness, to the Charlestown playground in Mayor Thomas M. Menino Park.
In 2019, Jake passed away at age 11 from complications of his metabolic (新陈代谢的) disorder.
Over the past decade, playground accessibility has advanced due to more awareness and more options for designers. Parents like Julie are telling public officials and planners that more work still needs to be done to make playgrounds truly inclusive.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires equal access for people with disabilities in public spaces, was passed in 1990. But it didn’t specifically address outdoor recreation in its original regulations. Updated guidance came in 2010, and any playground that is now built or renovated must be ADA-compliant. But, according to Julie, there is a gap between what she calls “ADA on paper” and “the lived experience of ADA”.
| A．Fortunately, those in charge are listening. |
| B．But not all playgrounds were accessible to Jake. |
| C．However, some officials turn a deaf ear to Julie’s requests. |
| D．The playground has plenty of wheelchair-accessible designs. |
| E．One of Julie’s main themes is that play should be for everyone. |
| F．Hence, she still attempts to make playgrounds accessible to all. |
| G．Since then, Julie has been on a special playground-related mission. |
