Accessible Ice Sleds at Summit Ice for Next Season

Accessible Ice Sleds at Summit Ice for Next Season

In February 2024, Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation (LSPR) received $2,881.94 in funding to purchase three accessible ice sleds for Summit Ice located at Lea McKeighan Park North. The sleds are USA Disabled Hockey-approved and are available for pond hockey or public skating.  LSPR would like to thank our generous donor, Southern Africa Volunteer Enterprise, Inc. (SAVE), for providing the funds for this purchase.  SAVE is a privately funded family organization that has funded hundreds of projects since 2000. SAVE Funds projects that have an impact on vulnerable populations in the United States and around the world. SAVE especially provides funding for projects related to people with disabilities, as well as students. They have funded the building of accessible playgrounds, improvements to schools, and events for people with disabilities, just to name a few projects funded throughout the years. 

The accessible sleds are available upon request when Summit Ice opens for the winter season in November 2024. For more information on Summit Ice, visit www.summitice.net.
