Tuesday, March 25, 6:45 pm, at the Des Moines Izaak Walton League, 4343 George Flagg Pkwy (intersection of Geo. Flagg & Park, Des Moines 50321. Northshore's mission: Strive to be the most universally designed, diverse, and equitable outdoor recreational space in the country. To quote Devon "The most important thing park users should know is that it was carefully designed for EVERYONE. We have leaned on the input of design experts, service providers, individuals with disabilities, caretakers, and more to ensure best practice throughout the design and creation of the park and programming. The park features accessible single-user restrooms, including one with a child/adult universal changing station, a Wellness Room for nursing mothers and those who need quiet space, an inclusive playground with a variety of equipment and sensory experiences, and more. Plus, accessible signs and wide paved pathways make exploring the park fun for everyone. Devon Boes is a trained and experienced occupational therapist who has years of practical experience helping people of all abilities achieve small and large goals alike. In addition to her professional experience, Devon’s educational background includes studies in environmental science, making her a perfect fit! Admission to Devon's talk is FREE and Open to the Public, with a Lasagna dinner at 6 available for purchase.
