There is finally a water park that is accessible for everyone.

For those who are disabled, it's free. 

Morgan's Inspiration Island in San Antonio is all-inclusive, but it's specifically designed to be fully accessible for people with disabilities. 

The last census showed nearly 54 million kids in the U.S. have a disability. They are often excluded from things their fully abled peers get to enjoy.

This water park helps change that.

People with disabilities tested the park's accessibility features.

And for visitors who use wheelchairs, the park offers waterproof ones.

The water park is an addition to an existing theme park. That park was also designed with accessibility in mind.
