Rent the GRIT Freedom Chair
Monday-Friday - 9:00am-3:00pm
The GRIT Freedom Chair is an all-terrain wheelchair built for every type of adventure. Developed by MIT engineers, this easy-to-push, lever-driven wheelchair comes armed with rugged mountain bike wheels, a big, sturdy front wheel that doesn’t get stuck, and optional trail handles, allowing you to choose your own adventure. Instead of grabbing onto the wheels directly, push the levers forward to propel yourself. This device was made possible by a generous grant from the mParks Foundation.
Weight limit is 250 lbs and height accommodation is 4'10”-6'8".
The chair is currently available for use between the hours of 9am-3pm Monday-Friday and be used at the center or outside on the grounds. Your rental hour includes a brief tutorial of how to use the freedom chair. The chair must stay on the Oceola community center property (paved path or grass area) during the rental time.
If you have any questions or would like to rent outside of the published times, please contact Deputy Director Jen Baca at jbaca@howellrecreation.org
