disability social fun trike – ADventure Out 13.11.24

The disability social fun trike rides were so much fun! We do this every year for this group, sometimes more than once. “ADventure Out was established in January 2021 as a Charity as a Disability Social Group” – that’s what their website says. As usual, we gave a big discount for people with a disability, however, we can’t do it for free – as much as we’d love to.

The trike tour ride

There was a large group of people with a disability and their carers. Our trike rider took them on rides around Centennial Park. As he said, not each ride was exactly the same. There are lots of little back roads and niche places to be found. He actually found a lot of them today 😆.

Centennial Park

It is interesting riding through the huge Centennial Park, a lovely experience. 120 fields and venues, and 35+ different sports played in the Centennial Parklands. It is the largest community sports precinct in Australia! The history is also interesting: “Originally a swamp and then set aside as land for the water source for Sydney. Centennial Park was reconstructed as a public park and opened in 1888. Sir Henry Parkes’ vision was to create a ‘People’s Park’ in which the citizens of Sydney could ‘take in the air’ away from the Sydney town centre.” – from their website.

Fun Fact

Freshwater eels live their adult lives (up to sixty years) in the ponds of Centennial Park. To breed, these eels go on an incredible journey through drains and over roads, down to Botany Bay, where they enter salt water and migrate towards New Caledonia where they lay their eggs deep in the ocean. From the Centennial Parklands website.

Summary

However, we were booked for 3 hours which was too short 😄. Our trike rider did 4 hours and could have done more but he was exhausted. It’s a long time with only one break. In conclusion, the disability social fun trike was fun and gave our passengers more of an experience than they expected.
