Accessibility Statement

The Robbins Farm Garden Cooperative strives to provide a community space and recreational outlet that is accessible and inclusive. In partnership with the Town of Arlington, the Garden Cooperative has identified ways to improve accessibility and has worked steadily towards that goal. Below is a summary of recent and current initiatives that address accessibility improvements since 2017.

Achieved:

  • Addition of a stone dust path connecting garden entrance to Eastern Avenue (2017)
  • Remodeling of entryway to meet ADA compliance (2018)
  • Addition of raised garden beds within accessible reach ranges (2019)
  • Redesign of garden to create accessible-width paths and beds (2021)

In progress:

  • Leveling and smoothing of pathways within the garden (ongoing, 2021)

If you have additional questions about accessibility or recommendations for improvement, please reach out to us via the form on the “Contact Us” section of our website.
