Lacombe County has launched a new Mobi-mat and beach accessible wheelchair (Mobi-Chair) at Sandy Point Beach.

These new amenities, started from a county staff innovation initiative, will ensure the beach is accessible for everyone, whether they have a mobility impairment or simply find it challenging to navigate the sandy terrain. The Mobi-mat and Mobi-Chair are in place to help users fully enjoy the beach experience. 

The Mobi-mat, located next to the washrooms at Sandy Point Beach, can be used by anyone with wheels, such as walkers, strollers, wheelchairs, etc. The mat allows for much easier access through the sand to the water.  

The Mobi-Chair is not limited to individuals who use wheelchairs. It is also available for those who cannot swim, have motor disabilities, or need assistance navigating the beach. The Mobi-Chair is available for use at no cost
