In summer 2024, the City of Saint John will launch two all-terrain wheelchairs for use in Rockwood Park. All-terrain wheelchairs are designed for off-road capabilities to tackle uneven ground, gravel and the outdoor elements. The wheelchairs are intended to provide barrier-free access and allow park users to enjoy outdoor activity with families and friends regardless of abilities.

The ePush requires an attendant to push the user. This all-terrain electric wheelchair can accommodate users with little to no upper body mobility. The attendant can push the wheelchair manually and use the throttle to provide additional power for more challenging terrain or inclines.	The eTrike is designed for users with upper body mobility. This all-terrain electric wheelchair can be propelled manually using the drive levers, electronically using the throttle, or a combination of both.
