Accessibility
Dorothea Dix Park continues to strive to be accessible and welcoming for visitors, including those with disabilities.

Accessibility is a primary focus for early park improvements and all future planning and development.
Parking: Accessible parking spaces are available in all lots.
Restrooms: Accessible port-a-johns are located at the Big Field and Flowers Field. Indoor accessible restrooms are available in the newly renovated Chapel during open hours.
