By providing pathways that are of proper grade, width, slope, and surface, people with ambulatory difficulty (such as the elderly using walkers and canes or those with diseases that affect co-ordination of the extremities), as well as those who must use wheelchairs, can gain access to nature and remain better connected with their ambulatory friends and relatives."
