Beach wheelchair donated to town
Aug 10, 2021
The Town of Wareham will soon have an additional beach wheelchair available for use, thanks to a donation.
Beach wheelchairs have wide, balloon tires that are designed to be able to roll over sand more easily and get a little wet.
The donation means the Harbormaster’s office on the Onset Pier will have three beach wheelchairs that improve accessibility at the beach, free for anyone to borrow.
Jane Fields, a Newton resident, donated the chair to the town. The Select Board unanimously voted to accept Fields’ donation during an Aug. 10 meeting.
