Track Chair Event Opens Trails to Young Visitors
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park recently hosted a Track Chair event in partnership with All-Terrain Georgia and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, giving four young visitors the chance to experience the park’s roads and trails in a new way.
Before the event, Mike Collett, board member and trail director for Friends of Kennesaw Mountain, previewed the terrain to help ensure it was accessible and volunteered to lead the hike that day.
“I had never seen the Track Chairs operate, and it was amazing,” Mike said. “The experience of being with these kids having freedom on the trails in the park left me feeling very good.”
Thank you to Kennesaw Mountain, All-Terrain Georgia, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Mike for creating a memorable day for these young visitors.
Events like this reflect the importance of keeping park trails welcoming and well maintained for all visitors.
Friends of Kennesaw Mountain volunteers help maintain and improve the trails at the park. A monthly workday is held every 2nd Saturday. Friends also support school education trips and hikes, trail enhancements, history reenactments, community programs, and fundraising events for the park. Want to help or donate? www.friendsofkmnbp.org
