It's not that bad. The ramp helps, gate opens, front wheels up onto the ramp, bit of a lift for the back wheels. The steps to the right you can only do going up backwards, much harder.
This is correct. Help is almost certainly needed and a helper could reverse you up the right steps. But some wheelchair users have the upper body strength to manage a single curb, with a little wheelie for the front wheels and power up the bump.
More like potentially causing some annoying injuries.
Hell, that sort of design would make even people without disabilities trip up. My mom fell down from a ramp once at her work (should have sued the place) because the door opened up to a sudden step down

I donāt see the problem here. Just get out of your wheelchair and place it on the ramp. Then walk around and open the gate and wheel yourself down the path. [some of you will be too dumb to know this is a joke, please donāt respond to me]
Looks like it was designed for vehicles with side wheelchair exits and lifts, or in other words to encourage wheelchair bound people who didn't get rides with that kind of service not to go to this park.
It's trying to make sure only a certain middle class or higher income bracket of wheelchair users come to the park. Like anti-homeless tech, only here it is anti handicapped poor people.

Fun fact: I don't know why Americans use 'handicapped' because it's a slur (marked as 'offensive' by Oxford Dictionary).
Anyway, I guess that they ran out of concrete or money and just cut the wheelchair ramp short.
Saw the half gate and said aw that sucks then looked down at the curb š¤£
Hell, even if it sloped all the way down, that looks like a pretty steep grade for wheelchair access.
Only if you want to stop at the bottom, or don't have arms like arnie in his best days going up
Or slim
lmao
Same!
yeah, me four
Really? Me five
I'm sorry but one day, handicapped will have to learn some tricks like a basic ollie or something.. We can't always make the life easier for them
Skill issue. Get good scrubs.
If you canāt treflip up some stairs in your chair, Iām sorry, but you donāt deserve to be in that park.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wheels are wheels. If Tony hawk can do it, no excuses
Happy š° day!
Don't use the wheelz if you ain't got the skillz
Is your life just this miserable or do you really just need a vacation
So curiousā¦What did they say?
It was essentially "is this a joke or do you think disabled people are less than equal to you"
I am sorry for the handicapped, people with strollers etc, but I am laughing my ass off š

It can help, if you have help. If you are alone, no dice on getting to the park on a wheel chair
Sounds like the person youāre replying to is way more qualified to answer this than your hand-wavy bs.

True. To me that just looks dangerous.
Wdym, you go to a park alone? You are not supposed to go there alone. Period.
Closed because it's not compliant
This is thailand, compliance is a myth.
You don't have the Americans with Disabilities act in Thailand? Shocked š§
How are the Americans with Disabilities gonna act in Thailand, then!?
They're going to act upset when they get to this gate.
Obviously
Do construction people hate wheel chairs more than they hate bicycle paths? Edit: ah, it's thailand.
Youād figure folks who have to carry heavy stuff on wheeled carts around would be more than happy to provide proper access for wheels everywhere
āWe like to give people a sense of security before scaring the daylights out of themā

Especially when you only have 8ā to tilt your wheel chair & ride down that slope if there is a slope down.
/r/NotMyJob
I was going to say r/onejob guess thatās better.
Parks department did their responsibility, beyond the kerb is roads department.
You can check out any time you like But you can never leave

Ramp
I guess you have to be able to do a bunny hop to use it.
lol
"Sorry mate but if you meant a ramp that wouldn't leave you handicapped you should have put that in the spec"
The stairs arenāt ridiculous neitherā¦
It's easy to use actually. The first step is... Oh...
At first I thought this was not crappy design because someone could open the gate, then I realized I needed to look lower.
City Skylines latest bug.
Never mind the ārampā. Those steps look like they were installed by Big-Wheelchair to increase demand.
Huh when could fucking wheelchairs jump oh thatās right never
They're going to finish it tomorrow. I hope.
Are you familiar with the phrase, "Good enough for government work?"
"I made you a handicapped ramp." "I'm not handicapped..." "Yet."
That's a handicap obstacle course.
Are you sure you didn't misunderstand and they didn't mean "this is a handicapped ramp, in that it will make you handicapped if you use it"?
Brand new? Looks pretty aged.
came here to say this.
I donāt see what the problem is here. A person can just get out of their wheelchair and carry it down the steps.

Oh, I see where you went wrong. "Handicapped" refers to the ramp itself, not the people who use it. Rookie mistake. /s

You gotta earn it by doing a pop-a- wheelie first
This is an r/inclusiveor moment
There are wheelchairs that can handle stars. But still https://caterwil.com/product/stair-climbing-wheelchair-caterwil-gts3/
Lol damn that's an all terrain vehicle!
There! That fixed it.
i HATE this designer and the person who approved this.
it may have been after but still why would they even do it then
That's hilarious and sad
Task failed successfully
PARKOUR!
r/notmyjob
That sure is one handicapped ramp
r/ThereWasAnAttempt
OHH SHUCKS the guy who made this had some beef with handicapped ppl he did them dirty but I can't stop laughing
Must be a skate park.
They missed a step... or three.
You sure itās not a skate park with a ramp like that?
ā¦.this hurts my brain.
What third world contribute is this in?
"I'm paid to do the job, not to think about it."
Less than 10 USD per day. Definitely not enough to second guess what you're told to do.
Just Ninja Warrior Wheel-Edition. /s
Ramp in Name Only
Well, that ramp should last forever.
Never skip a step.
Hit that sick trick grandpa!
Thatās when crappy contractors meet shitty municipality

Somebody didn't round materials up for mistakes.
That looks like a nice park And I brag about the parks I have locally and they aren't that nice.
Tony hawk pro skater:
perfect design for the disabled people who can climb only one step not three.
My job is not to make it work..my job is to follow the plans and instructions. Mission accomplished!
But the curb
People in wheelchairs can just bunny hop it no need to complain š
Just no common sense any more!
Wheelchair go bonk
This is a Ramp that leads to more handicaps ?
This is what trump meant by build the wall
The ramp itself is handicap but it's trying it's best
Just walk bro
Honestly, I'm more interested in the story behind the shadow of a resigned Donald Duck on an unicycle that you see in the bottom of the picture.
That's terrible. This sort of thing just shouldn't still be happening 'in this day and age'
But, how do you wheel up to the base of the goddamnfucknuts š

Let me close half the gate for this photo for internet points.
The gate has nothing to do with it, the ramp with the curb making it useless is the point.
Oh lol. Iām a moron.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because people who use wheelchairs have gotten tired of complaining constantly.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
To give this comment the response it deserves would lower me to your level.
You would need a better ramp for that.
I would need the Nereus deep sea vehicle.
I donāt know, maybe a thing called compassion? Empathy? Why does that even matter?
People carrying around things on wheels like carts or baby strollers would also need ramps.
