PRINCE ALBERT Sarah Turnbull says wood chips, engineered wood chips, pebbles and sand are difficult to navigate with wheelchairs and walkers. She’d like the City of Prince Albert to consider surfacing material other than wood chips when accepting the proposed designs for the new playground at Little Red River Park provided by the Rotary Club of Prince Albert. “It sends a really powerful message to leave people on the sidelines,” said Turnbull. Turnbull often travelled from Tisdale to use the Jumpstart Playground in Prince Albert because the rubberized surfacing made it easy to access with her daughter’s wheelchair.
