Whiting Park is a family recreational spot on the west side of Lake Charlevoix in Boyne City. The park has 14 accessible campsites, a sandy universally accessible swimming beach, an accessible kayak launch, volleyball court, ball field, playgrounds, and picnic areas.
Leadership Charlevoix and Disability Network partnered to raise $13,609 to purchase Mobi Mats and a Mobi Chair so EVERYONE has the ability to access Lake Charlevoix.

Support Our Work
Disability can occur at any age and at any moment—in fact, 80% of us will have a disability at some point in our lifetime. Your support will help us to continue promoting personal empowerment and positive social change for individuals with disabilities. For every dollar invested in Disability Network, $13 is returned to our region. Our programs boost the economy, create a more inclusive community, and offer tax savings for Michigan residents.
About Us
Most people equate disability with limitations. It’s our job to change the perceptions and realities that prevent people with disabilities from sharing in the community. We provide training, mentoring and referrals to help people with disabilities and their families live productive lives. We also work on a larger scale, helping governments and businesses make changes that benefit everyone in the community.
