Accessible Equipment TC

This accessible exercise equipment is in the ward office compound at Tarakeshwar Ward No. 7, Dagurne Pani. East of the ward office entrance there are six pieces of exercise equipment. This one can be used by a wheelchair user. Tai chi and chest press can both be done while seated in a wheelchair. A scooter used by a person with a disability can also be parked there. A signboard for accessible parking stands beside it. After parking the scooter and getting off, enter the equipment area by the ramp. A wall used to stand there; it was removed and the ramp was built in its place. There is a badminton court in front of the equipment area, reached by a ramp. When you have finished exercising, leave toward the parking area by the ramp.
