When Kinect M1 donated a Trackchair to Peninsula State Park on May 9, it became the first Trackchair available at a Wisconsin state park.

Park staff hope to have the chair available for use starting in June, but volunteers are needed to teach riders how to operate the chair and to join individuals on hikes who don’t have someone to join them – chair operation requires the buddy system.

**Representatives from Sunshine Resources, Sturgeon Bay Schools, Turning Point and Inspired Employment were all invited to the park to test out the Trackchair. Submitted.**

The Friends of Peninsula State Park have been a large supporter of the project. Look for more information soon on the group’s website at peninsulastatepark.org.

Kinect M1 also recently donated a Trackchair to The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor.
