Hello, I just had an accessibility question for the wheelchair using folks. Is going on well maintained grass fine? Or is it a bit problematic?

If by "well maintained grass" you're talking about a flat, maintained sports field or something of the sort, likely yes. If you mean grass that's been cut but the ground is otherwise natural with bumps and holes, then you'll probably have problems.

It does depend on the chair, but most are not built for off-roading. Also will depend on if you're the pusher or if you're talking about propelling yourself (as the wheelchair occupant).
