It’s been three years since the closure of Carousel House. But plans for a new state-of-the-art rec center are finally taking shape — and they are impressive.
Families who have been going there for years — in some cases, decades — appreciated having a space reserved primarily for people with cognitive and physical limitations. It had become integral to their lives. They wanted to maintain the status quo at Carousel House.
“Our unique community should be part of any community,” Moye said. “I think by having it open to the community it reduces that stigma, that if you have cognitive or physical limitations that you should be treated differently. If you learn to engage with people, it reduces that isolation.
At public pools, Fichter said, there can be barriers to people with disabilities. The water can be difficult to enter or not the right temperature. The space can be too busy. The staff may not be familiar with a person’s specific needs.
