Dear Chris Ward:
I am writing to you today because I’ve had a concern about accessibility in Addison Oaks. I have been visiting the park for about 16 years and I really enjoy it but I’ve noticed that the cabins at Addison Oaks are not accessible. I feel that everyone should be able to enjoy the cabin and the fact that they aren't goes against the mission statement of the park. I just wanted to suggest that the cabins be renovated to accommodate the people in wheelchairs and other disabilities so that they are able to enjoy the cabins comfortably.
In the article titled “How to make parks more accessible and inclusive” the author Cameron Connelly states that “Parks are important public spaces for promoting health, well-being, and social interactions.” He is showing us that parks are important to a lot of people and it helps with their health and well-being. I feel like it's everyone's right to be able to enjoy them regardless of their abilities.
Overall I hope this letter finds you well and that you are able to consider my suggestion because it is not fair to people with disabilities to not be able to enjoy the park as much as me. If you could write me back i'd greatly appreciate it and im hope this problem can be fixed to
Sincerely, Ella Skope
