In order to increase accessibility for residents who require additional supports, Medford Recreation and the Medford Parks Commission have introduced a new pass type--the Caregiver Pass.
The Caregiver Pass is for the vehicle of a friend, family member, PCA, or Aide who lives outside Medford and provides direct support to senior citizens or adult residents with a disability who would otherwise be unable to drive to Wright's Pond.
Caregiver pass can only be used to bring a Medford Resident. The pass will be sold to the resident, who must be present in the vehicle AND submit photo ID to the park ranger each time when visiting the pond.
