Ridgewood officials will decide next week whether or not to accept a month-long, no-strings-attached loan of a Mobi-Chair, to give residents with mobility challenges a new swimming option at Graydon Pool this summer. The decision will likely be made following a parks and recreation department meeting next Tuesday.
Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli and council members Tom Riche and Bernadette Walsh agreed Wednesday night that “it can’t hurt” to try out the specially designed rolling beach wheelchair at no cost to the village. The brightly colored device is constructed of material that allows the chair to easily traverse over grassy and sandy terrain and float on water.

A Mobi Chair was delivered to Graydon this week, correct?
Yes, on Friday afternoon, June 14, for a 30-day free trial.
It’s great looking. Find a friend, neighbor, or relative who would love to get back into the water and try it out.
Note: for the third summer in a row, anyone from any town may buy a Graydon season badge; however, day passes are sold only to Ridgewood residents. Badge holders who are residents of Ridgewood may invite guests for the day ($10 each).
Nonresidents who pay local property taxes to the Village of Ridgewood and employees of the Village of Ridgewood and Board of Education with documentation of their status pay the Ridgewood resident badge rate.
