PINES PARK
DANA POINT- Pines Park, on the bluffs of Capistrano Beach, is
now in the process of being made wheelchair friendly. The upper
part of the park, (which is really the south-end) now has full
access for wheelchairs, and the city is just now completing access
ramps on the north-end, by the sandlot for the children. The
handicapped are often overlooked because they don't exist in large
numbers, and because they are often physically ill, they may lack
the vigor it takes to protest. On the other hand, access to public
parks is important, because the life of a handicapped individual
is often the secluded isolation of a shut-in. Sometimes, being
able to feel the warmth of the sun, and a warm breeze, are all
that make it possible for the handicapped to get through another
day. Dana Point On-Line applauds the Parks and Recreation Department for their important improvements to Pines Park, which truly improves the quality of life for Dana Point residents. Thank you.
