One of the best parts about summer is going to a swimming pool or even a water park to keep cool and enjoy ourselves.

Unfortunately, we often don’t consider that some people aren’t able to go to these fun places because of their physical or mental disabilities. Water parks aren’t very accessible at all for them, but one new venue is changing all of that for those who live in San Antonio, Texas.

Morgan’s Inspiration Island, an extension of Morgan’s Wonderland, just opened as the world’s first fully accessible water park designed for people with a wide range of disabilities, and it’s pretty amazing.
